Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry will miss the upcoming NBA All-Star Game due to a lingering right knee injury that has sidelined him for the last four games. Coach Steve Kerr announced that Curry will also miss the team's game against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday, with the hope that he can return to action after the All-Star break on February 19th against the Boston Celtics.

Why it matters

Curry's absence from the All-Star Game is a significant blow, as he is one of the league's biggest stars and a perennial All-Star selection. The Warriors have struggled without their leading scorer, going 5-9 in the games Curry has missed this season due to various injuries.

The details

Curry exited early from the Warriors' January 30th loss to the Detroit Pistons with the sore right knee that has been bothering him for over a week. An MRI exam revealed that Curry is dealing with patellofemoral pain syndrome, which has caused him to miss 15 games overall this season. The Warriors are also without Curry's backcourt mate Jimmy Butler, who recently underwent surgery for a torn ACL.

What they’re saying

“He's doing well. It's really kind of a day-to-day thing, so it's hard to predict for sure whether he'll be playing in that first game after the break but that's definitely the hope, and if he is, if he can get through everything this week, then that puts him on pace to be playing.”

— Steve Kerr, Head Coach, Golden State Warriors
