The Golden State Warriors are in a state of flux. The team, which entered the year hoping to contend for a championship, has been decimated by injuries all season. Now, as they head into the second half of the season, they get an update on superstar guard Stephen Curry’s availability.

According to ESPN insider Shams Charania, Curry “will be re-evaluated in 10 days due to his persistent right knee injury,” he reported on X. He also added that the guard will miss at least five more games while rehabbing the case of runner’s knee that has bothered him over the last few weeks.

Curry‘s MRI was clean, indicating no significant structural damage, but the ongoing inflammation leading to knee soreness has delayed his return. To make things worse, there’s no exact clock on his recovery.

“There’s not really a predictable kind of timeline in terms of the rehab,” Curry told Malika Andrews during an interview. “I’m hoping I’ll be back soon after the break. The rest part is hard to actually get back to 100% so I can get back out there and do my thing, but I’m getting close though.”

The Warriors hover towards the end of the playoff race in the Western Conference, currently sitting at #8, and every game matters. Without Curry, the central focus of their offensive game, spacing and late-game execution becomes a sore point for the team.

However, amid all the uncertainty, Curry has maintained a confidence in his team’s performance.

“This has been such a unique year,” he told Andrews. “But as long as we can find our way into a playoff series, we feel like we are a tough out for anybody at the top of the West.”

Stephen Curry Delivers a Playoff Threat While Warriors Waiting to Get Healthy

Stephen Curry pointed to the roster that has taken shape around him, a mix of veterans, emerging pieces, as well as their trade deadline acquisition, Kristaps Porzingis.

“Hopefully, [Porzingis] is healthy and able to be out there consistently,” Curry told Andrews, “Because we know what he’s capable of doing and a new dynamic that he gives us as a stretch big next to Draymond.”

Porzingis has been unable to take the floor for the team due to a flare-up of POTS earlier this season as well as an Achilles injury, but the team is hopeful that he can contribute this season. He’s expected to play tonight against the Boston Celtics, but in limited minutes off the bench.

Apart from them, he also praised veteran big man Al Horford, young wing Moses Moody, and steady forward De’Anthony Melton for their good play over the last few games, especially with Jimmy Butler’s season-ending ACL injury.

“With Jimmy going out, that was an emotional moment in the season,” Curry said of Butler’s injury. “Not just for him and where he’s at in his career, and hopefully he comes back healthy.”

For the Warriors, the next 10 days will determine if they can stabilize their playoff positioning while Carry can slowly ramp up towards a return in March.
