Stephen Curry is expected to be sidelined at least 10 more days for the Golden State Warriors

The Golden State Warriors will have to continue navigating the final stretch of the season without their biggest star, as Stephen Curry remains sidelined with a troublesome right knee injury and is expected to be out for at least another 10 days.

Curry has already missed the team’s last 15 games, the team announced Wednesday, as he continues to recover from patellofemoral pain syndrome. The Warriors said the four-time NBA champion has been making steady progress in his rehabilitation.

The veteran guard has resumed individual on-court workouts, which are expected to intensify as his recovery advances. Curry will undergo another evaluation in about 10 days to determine the next step in his return process.

That timeline means Curry will miss at least six more games, including a road matchup against the Atlanta Hawks on March 21. After that contest, the Warriors will have 11 games remaining in the regular season.

Curry last suited up on January 30 against the Detroit Pistons, and his absence has been deeply felt. Before the injury, he was leading the team with averages of 27.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game while shooting 46.8 percent from the field and 39.1 percent from three-point range across 39 games.

Without their floor leader, Golden State has struggled to maintain consistency. The Warriors recently dropped their third straight game and their fifth in six outings after a 130–124 overtime loss to the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night.

Golden State initially hoped Curry would return shortly after the NBA All-Star Game, but the 10-time All-Star ultimately had to sit out the midseason showcase as well to prioritize recovery.

In the meantime, younger players such as Brandin Podziemski, Gui Santos, and De’Anthony Melton have been asked to shoulder greater responsibility as the Warriors attempt to steady themselves in the competitive Western Conference standings.

The two-time MVP, who will turn 38 on Saturday, is also expected to miss upcoming games against the Minnesota Timberwolves, New York Knicks, Washington Wizards, Boston Celtics, and Detroit Pistons, with a possible return date targeted for March 21 in Atlanta.

Beyond the statistics, Curry’s absence has also forced the Warriors to adjust their identity on the court. With their offensive centerpiece unavailable, the team has relied more heavily on ball movement and contributions from its younger rotation players, a shift that could help build depth and experience as Golden State fights to stay in the playoff race.
