"SAN FRANCISCO -- Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry will miss this weekend's All-Star Game because of his lingering right knee issue. Warriors coach Steve Kerr announced the news prior to the team's Monday night game against the Memphis Grizzlies, the fourth straight Curry has missed due to patellofemoral pain syndrome, also known as runner's knee. Curry also will sit out Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs."
""It's a matter of learning as I go what works rehab-wise," Curry told ESPN of the knee issue. "Because it's still painful. You have to try to get rid of all the inflammation and pain. It's something we still have to monitor and injury-manage, but it's something where, if I come back too early, it could flare up." The problem flared up two weeks ago during an individual workout."
"Curry missed one game in Minnesota, tried to play through it the next two and then exited a home loss to the Detroit Pistons in the third quarter. He limped to the locker room and has since been off to the side doing individual rehab work. Curry joins Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as All-Stars already ruled out of Sunday's showcase game in Los Angeles."
Stephen Curry will miss the upcoming All-Star Game and will also sit out Wednesday's game due to a lingering right knee issue diagnosed as patellofemoral pain syndrome, or runner's knee. Coach Steve Kerr said this is the fourth straight game Curry has missed. The team hopes he can return to the lineup after the All-Star break on Feb. 19 at home against the Boston Celtics. Curry described ongoing pain and inflammation, said he is learning what rehab works, and warned that returning too early could cause a flare-up. The problem began during an individual workout and led to his exit from a recent game; he has been doing individual rehab work since. The NBA has not announced a replacement for Team USA.
