The Golden State Warriors took to the court Wednesday night in Memphis, squaring off against the Grizzlies. All eyes remain on Stephen Curry, whose presence is pivotal for the Warriors' aspirations this season as he continues to battle an injury.
Curry has been sidelined since January 30, and his absence is keenly felt. This season, the legendary guard has been putting up impressive numbers, averaging 27.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game. His shooting efficiency is as sharp as ever, boasting a 46.8% field goal percentage, 39.1% from beyond the arc, and a stellar 93.1% from the free-throw line.
With Jimmy Butler out for the season, the Warriors' need for Curry's return is even more pressing. But is Curry suiting up tonight against the Grizzlies?
Unfortunately for Warriors fans, the answer is no. Curry is currently sidelined with patellofemoral pain syndrome, commonly referred to as "runner's knee."
As for when we might see Curry back in action, the timeline remains uncertain. After undergoing an MRI upon his return from the All-Star break, Golden State announced that Curry would be re-evaluated in 10 days. Speaking to NBC Sports Bay Area, Curry expressed his frustration, saying, “I mean, it’s not going the way that I wanted it to, but I think we’re in the right direction of getting back out there as fast as possible.”
Curry's return is eagerly anticipated, and his recovery will be crucial for the Warriors as they navigate the rest of the season.
