"The team is officially listing the injury as patellofemoral pain syndrome, also known as "runner's knee," typically consisting of swelling and pain around the kneecap. Curry first started experiencing the issue after an individual workout in Minneapolis on Jan. 24. He rested one game against the Timberwolves last Monday, but has otherwise attempted to play through it until discomfort forced him out of Friday night's 131-124 loss to the Detroit Pistons. Curry started grimacing late in the third quarter following a made floater"
"Curry called the problem "super weird" and "something that I hadn't felt before," but the Warriors are listing him as day-to-day. Warriors coach Steve Kerr said Curry's return and management the rest of the season will be up to Curry and Rick Celebrini, the team's lead medical decision-maker. The Warriors will also be without wing Jonathan Kuminga on Tuesday night for a fifth consecutive game because of a bone bruise in his left knee."
Stephen Curry will miss Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers due to a persistent right knee issue that removed him from Golden State's previous game. The team lists the injury as patellofemoral pain syndrome, or runner's knee, causing swelling and pain around the kneecap. Symptoms began after an individual workout in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 and led him to rest one game against the Timberwolves. Curry tried to play through the pain until exiting Friday night's loss to the Pistons after grimacing and limping to the locker room. The Warriors list him day-to-day; return and season management decisions will be made by Curry and medical lead Rick Celebrini. Jonathan Kuminga will miss a fifth straight game with a bone bruise in his left knee; he is close to returning but remains a trade candidate ahead of Thursday's deadline.
