Overview
- Insiders reported that Curry’s right knee, diagnosed last January as patellofemoral pain syndrome, still causes concern and will need ongoing management rather than a one-time fix.
- Monte Poole said Curry and his trainers have developed workarounds and that Curry expressed confidence he could play more than 70 games next season.
- Curry appeared in 43 games in 2025–26 after repeated rehab setbacks that at one point had the Warriors weighing a full shutdown.
- The team is expected to use selective workload limits such as fewer minutes and sitting certain matchups to keep Curry available and protect the club’s playoff hopes.
- Patellofemoral pain syndrome is a chronic kneecap-tracking condition that often responds to targeted rehab and load control but can require long-term adjustments to a player’s schedule and movement patterns.
