"SAN FRANCISCO -- Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry had another MRI on his bothersome right knee in the last 24 hours that came back clean, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania, but persistent pain and swelling has not allowed him to return to the court. The team is officially listing it as patellofemoral pain syndrome, also known as "runner's knee." Curry will miss the team's Thursday night game against the Boston Celtics, and his return timetable remains unclear."
"Before the All-Star break, Warriors coach Steve Kerr expressed optimism that the swelling and pain in Curry's right knee would calm, and he'd perhaps get clearance for Thursday night. But Curry returned to the facility Wednesday night and told the training staff it didn't feel quite ready to participate in a live scrimmage. It has been flaring up after individual workouts."
Stephen Curry underwent another MRI on his right knee that showed no structural damage, yet persistent pain and swelling continue to prevent his return to play. The team lists the condition as patellofemoral pain syndrome, called runner's knee. Curry will miss the Thursday game against Boston and has no clear return timetable. The issue began during an individual workout on Jan. 24 in Minneapolis, flared after workouts, and forced him to miss five games before the All-Star break. Coach Steve Kerr emphasized the need for certainty before clearance. Curry said inflammation and pain must be resolved to avoid flare-ups.
