"Steph Curry was ruled out of Tuesday's matchup with the 76ers, which came as little surprise after the team diagnosed him with patellofemoral pain syndrome over the weekend. Known more commonly as runner's knee, the only remedy for that soreness is rest. (When he returns) will totally be up to (team doctor) Rick (Celebrini) and Steph, Warriors coach Steve Kerr said after Monday's practice. As soon as Rick tells me he can play, he'll play, but they're working together every day."
"Curry left Friday's game against the Pistons midway through the third quarter and did not return. With the All-Star game taking place in about two weeks, Curry's status for his 12th appearance in that star-studded exhibition is also in doubt. After taking on the 76ers, the Warriors will travel to Phoenix to play the Suns on Thursday. After that, Golden State stays on the road and will play at the Lakers in Los Angeles on Saturday."
"Joining Curry on the inactive list is Jonathan Kuminga, who will miss a fifth consecutive game with knee soreness. He got some on-court work in before practice, but the injury's at a point, the recovery's at a point where he's not yet ready to go live, Kerr said. Kerr also said he has been in communication with Jimmy Butler since the star tore his ACL, but that he was not at liberty to share details about when Butler will undergo surgery."
Steph Curry was diagnosed with patellofemoral pain syndrome, commonly called runner's knee, and was ruled out of Tuesday's game; rest is the prescribed remedy. Team doctor Rick Celebrini and Curry will determine his return, and coach Steve Kerr said Celebrini must clear him before he plays. Curry left Friday's game against the Pistons midway through the third quarter and did not return. His status for the All-Star game and upcoming matchups at the 76ers, Suns and Lakers is uncertain. Jonathan Kuminga is inactive for a fifth straight game with knee soreness and is not yet ready for live play. Kerr confirmed contact with Jimmy Butler after the ACL tear but deferred surgery timing details to Butler's agent.
