Curry Out: Warriors Face 76ers Without Star
4 Feb
Summary
- Stephen Curry is out for the February 3, 2026 game against the 76ers.
- The injury is diagnosed as patellofemoral pain syndrome, or runner's knee.
- His absence impacts the Warriors' scoring and ball-handling significantly.
Stephen Curry has been ruled out for the Golden State Warriors' game on February 3, 2026, against the Philadelphia 76ers. He is sidelined with a right-knee issue, identified as patellofemoral pain syndrome, commonly known as runner's knee.
While not a structural injury, the Warriors' medical staff opted for rest to prevent further discomfort for the 37-year-old guard. Curry last played in the third quarter of a previous game due to soreness and did not return. His season averages include 26.4 points, 5.9 assists, and 4.7 rebounds.
Without Curry, the offensive load will shift to Jordan Poole, Brandin Podziemski, and Draymond Green. The 76ers are expected to have a healthier roster, potentially giving them an edge in the matchup. This absence is not a long-term shutdown but a measure to manage his minutes.
The Warriors aim to manage Curry's playing time as the All-Star break approaches. The team will focus on how Poole and Podziemski handle guard duties and how Green orchestrates the offense in Curry's absence against a healthy Philadelphia squad.
