Curry was downgraded to out on the NBA’s injury report for bilateral knee and patellofemoral soreness.
Jonathan Kuminga returned to practice after missing two games through illness, and coach Steve Kerr said the forward looked good. Curry was not practicing Tuesday, as was Draymond Green for what Kerr cited as maintenance reasons.
Kerr said he believes Curry will be ready to play in Golden State’s next game at Phoenix on Saturday. Curry will have four days of rest between games.
“He’s been banged up the last week,” Kerr said before the Warriors played the Thunder. “Her knees have been bothering her. This wasn’t a surprise…Hopefully this gives Steph the time she needs in the next few days to prepare for our road trip.
“At 36, you’re going to have more aches and pains. Fortunately, the MRI he had yesterday was negative. He needs some time to heal from the tendonitis in his knees right now and, hopefully, in the future.” In the next few days he will achieve it.” “.
Curry logged 29 minutes and scored 28 points and seven assists in Monday’s loss to the Brooklyn Nets.
The Warriors (12-5) have already played a stretch without their superstar this season, going 3-0 when Curry was out with a peroneal strain in his left ankle from Oct. 29 to Nov. 2.
After a 10-2 start, Golden State has lost three of its last five games and the schedule is becoming increasingly difficult. After Phoenix on Saturday, the Warriors face Denver, Houston, Minnesota (three times) and Memphis.
