Stephen Curry to miss at least 10 more days

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Stephen Curry will be sidelined for at least another 10 days as the Golden State Warriors star tries to work his way back from a troublesome right knee injury.

The team said Wednesday that Curry — who will turn 38 on Saturday and has missed 15 consecutive games — was re-evaluated for his patellofemoral pain syndrome and has continued to make good progress. He has returned to individual on-court workouts that will be intensified as Curry is able to do more.

He is scheduled to be examined again in 10 days, then there is typically a specific ramp-up process for an injured player in a practice setting with various full-speed scrimmages before he is medically cleared to play games again.

That would mean Curry misses at least the next six games, including a road game at Atlanta on March 21, leaving 11 left in the regular season after that.

Golden State had initially hoped he would return right after the All-Star break, and Curry sat out the All-Star game this year.

Curry, leading the Warriors in scoring at 27.2 points per game, last played Jan. 30 against Detroit and the Warriors have struggled without him. They are 9-17 without him in the lineup overall this season and 5-10 during his recent stretch being sidelined.

The Warriors lost their third straight game, third in a row at home and fifth of six overall in a 130-124 overtime defeat to the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night.
