Stephen Curry Injury Update vs. Kings Tonight
According to the Tuesday injury report, Curry (knee) is probable for Golden State’s game against Sacramento.
Better described on the official report as “right patellofemoral pain syndrome,” Curry himself has admitted that “there’s nothing structurally wrong” with the knee. Despite that, the future Hall of Fame PG faced a long road to recovery and doesn’t seem totally out of the woods while the team continues to monitor his progress.
Following a January 30 loss to the Detroit Pistons, Curry sat out all the way until Sunday’s 117-116 thriller against the Houston Rockets. Although the Dubs couldn’t seal the deal and snag a win, Curry was spectacular in his return, scoring 29 points in 26 minutes on 11-of-21 shooting.
In 40 games this season, Curry has averaged 27.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 4.8 assists on 46.9% shooting from the field and 39.3% from deep. That per-game scoring mark is his highest since 2022-23, when he finished ninth in MVP voting while missing 26 games.
Stephen Curry & Warriors Outlook vs. Kings on Tuesday
There’s no denying that Golden State is an entirely different team without Curry in the fold. The team went 9-18 during his aforementioned 27-game absence, feeling the void left by him and also the one existing with F Jimmy Butler (ACL) done for the year.
Curry’s offensive impact goes beyond numbers, but databallr’s tracking does an impressive job painting a clear picture. In 1,168 minutes with Curry on the court this year, the Dubs are 9.5 points better per 100 possessions — 4.2 points better than league average.
Entering Tuesday’s play, the Warriors own a 36-42 record and sit 3.5 games back of the Portland Trail Blazers. Head coach Steve Kerr’s group seems destined for a grueling NBA play-in tournament slate, which will require it to win consecutive games just to make the playoffs.
Golden State will be without C Al Horford (calf), C Quinten Post (foot), and PF Gui Santos (pelvic) on Tuesday night. C Kristaps Porzingis (knee) is listed as questionable.
