An MRI revealed that Steph Curry has no structural damage to his right knee and the Warriors superstar will be re-examined later this week.
The Warriors shared an update Wednesday afternoon after Curry missed Tuesday’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves because of knee soreness. He underwent an MRI before Tuesday’s game.
Curry suffered the injury during Golden State’s 116-110 loss to the Timberwolves on Sunday when the two-time NBA MVP fell on his right knee.
He will not play in Thursday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder at Chase Center. The Warriors will provide another update “sometime” later this week.
In 11 games so far this season, the four-time champion is averaging 30.7 points on 48.8 percent shooting from the field and 44.6 percent from 3-point range as well as 4.6 rebounds and 3.9 assists.
And after Tuesday night’s heated melee between the Warriors and Timberwolves, Curry may not be the only one out for Thursday’s game.
The NBA is reportedly continuing to investigate the incident that occurred during the in-season tournament game at Chase Center in which Draymond Green put Rudy Gobert in a headlock for nearly ten seconds after Klay Thompson and Jaden McDaniels got into a headlock. Thompson, Green and McDaniels were all ejected from the game.
The additional disciplinary action the league will impose has yet to be decided, but it is expected to be announced sometime before Thursday’s game. The Warriors, potentially without two leaders, will have to find a way to overcome adversity as they try to snap out of a four-game losing streak.
