Stephen Curry to miss at least another 10 days for Warriors because of right

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) --- Stephen Curry will be sidelined for at least another 10
days as the Golden State Warriors star tries to work his way back from a
troublesome right knee injury.
The team said Wednesday that Curry --- who will turn 38 on Saturday and has
missed 15 consecutive games --- was re-evaluated for his patellofemoral pain
syndrome and has continued to make good progress. He has returned to individual
on-court workouts that will be intensified as Curry is able to do more.
He is scheduled to be examined again in 10 days, then there is typically a
specific ramp-up process for an injured player in a practice setting with
various full-speed scrimmages before he is medically cleared to play games
again.
That would mean Curry misses at least the next six games, including a road game
at Atlanta on March 21, leaving 11 left in the regular season after that.
Golden State had initially hoped he would return right after the All-Star
break, and Curry sat out the All-Star game this year.
Curry, leading the Warriors in scoring at 27.2 points per game, last played
Jan. 30 against Detroit and the Warriors have struggled without him. They are
are 9-17 without him in the lineup overall this season and 5-10 during his
recent stretch being sidelined.
The Warriors lost their third straight game, third in a row at home and fifth
of six overall in a 130-124 overtime defeat to the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday
night.
