Overview

  • Stephen Curry will miss a third straight game Saturday in Los Angeles with patellofemoral pain syndrome, marking his 14th absence of the season.
  • Curry said his knee is “trending in the right direction,” yet remains painful, and he is listed day-to-day with no firm return timeline to avoid a setback.
  • The Lakers also ruled out Luka Dončić with a left hamstring strain for the nationally televised matchup.
  • Trade-deadline addition Kristaps Porziņģis is not yet available for Golden State as the team takes a conservative approach following his 17 appearances this season.
  • Curry’s continued absences threaten his 65-game All‑NBA eligibility while the 28-24 Warriors, coming off a shorthanded win in Phoenix, continue without season-ending ACL casualty Jimmy Butler.
