Curry's Injury Update: Latest on Warriors Star's Knee
9 Mar
Summary
- Steph Curry dealing with runner's knee, pushing back return timeline.
- Warriors struggling, 9-15 without Curry this season.
- Curry out for upcoming back-to-back games versus Utah and Chicago.
Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry will not play on Monday against the Utah Jazz as he continues to recover from a knee injury. The star guard is sidelined with "runner's knee," also known as patella-femoral syndrome or bone bruising in his right knee.
Curry's timeline for return has been adjusted multiple times since the All-Star break. The team's most recent 10-day absence announcement on March 1 suggests his earliest possible return is Friday, March 13, against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He is confirmed to miss the back-to-back games against Utah and Chicago.
This absence is a significant blow for the Warriors, who are actively competing for a top-eight position in the Western Conference. As of March 9, 2026, Golden State holds a narrow lead over the Los Angeles Clippers and Portland Trail Blazers in the standings.
In the 24 games Curry has missed this season, the Warriors have a losing record of 9-15. Despite his injuries, Curry has been performing at an elite level when healthy, averaging 27.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game.
