All-Star guard Stephen Curry did not suffer any structural damage to his injured right knee, but he will miss Thursday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Golden State Warriors announced on Wednesday.
He will be sitting for the second straight game following Curry’s absence from Tuesday’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Warriors report that their right knee is sore. Curry had an MRI on Tuesday, and the team reports that there was no structural damage found. Later this week, he’ll get another assessment. On Saturday, Golden State and the Thunder will play again.
The Warriors will host both of their games against the Thunder. After a 6-2 start, Golden State is currently experiencing a four-game losing streak.
Curry suffered the injury during the Timberwolves’ Sunday defeat.
In his 15th NBA season, 35-year-old Curry is off to a fantastic start. He has averaged 30.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game while playing in all 11 Warriors games. His field goal percentage is 48.8%, and his 3-point percentage is 44.6% on 12.6 attempts per game.
A 6-5 Warriors team that is having offensive difficulties without its nine-time All-Star is severely harmed by the injury. This season, Curry is the only member of the Warriors to score more than 20 points in a single game. He has gone over that mark in all 11 of his games. In his absence, the Warriors will rely on Andrew Wiggins, Chris Paul, and Klay Thompson to step up their offense.
