Steph Curry Out: 'Runner's Knee' Sidelines Warriors Star
20 Feb
Summary
- Steph Curry will miss his sixth consecutive game due to knee pain.
- An MRI revealed no structural damage, but persistent swelling remains.
- Curry's absence jeopardizes his eligibility for regular-season awards.

Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry will be sidelined for his sixth consecutive game on Thursday, as an MRI confirmed no structural damage to his right knee but revealed persistent swelling and pain. This condition, referred to as 'runner's knee,' has left his return uncertain, with estimates ranging from days to weeks.
Curry's absence impacts the Warriors' playoff push, with the team currently holding the eighth seed in the Western Conference. His extended unavailability also raises concerns about his eligibility for regular-season awards, as missing one more game would mean he falls short of the 65-game threshold.
Before the All-Star break, coach Steve Kerr had hoped Curry would recover in time for the game against the Boston Celtics. However, individual workouts have continued to aggravate his knee, highlighting the persistent nature of the injury that has bothered him for over a month.
