Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry, 38, says he still has 'multiple' seasons left in the NBA despite dealing with a knee injury that sidelined him for a large chunk of this past season. Curry appeared in only 43 games, the third-fewest of his 17-year career, but is confident the injury won't be a long-term issue and that he can continue playing at a high level with careful management.

Why it matters

Curry is a key part of the Warriors' championship aspirations, and his ability to remain healthy and productive will be crucial to the team's success going forward. The Warriors have had to navigate several key injuries this season, and Curry's comments provide optimism that he can still be a driving force for the team in the coming years.

The details

Curry, 38, missed two months of the season due to a bout of 'runner's knee' that will require a 'new normal' to manage while remaining on the court. He worked his way back to play 36 minutes in both of the Warriors' play-in games, but struggled in their season-ending loss to the Suns, scoring 17 points on 4-of-16 shooting. Curry said the injury will have to be carefully managed going forward, but he is not considering surgical options and believes rest will help get him right for next season.

  • Curry missed a 27-game stretch in January and February due to the knee issue.
  • The Warriors' play-in loss to the Suns on Friday marked the end of their season.

What’s next

Curry is signed through next season, along with Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler. The Warriors' top priority this offseason will be determining if they want to extend Curry's contract beyond next year.

The takeaway

Despite the injury setbacks this season, Curry remains confident he can continue playing at a high level for multiple more years, though the Warriors will need to carefully manage his workload and health to keep him on the court. Curry's ability to stay healthy and productive will be crucial to the team's championship aspirations in the coming seasons.
