Golden State Warriors star point guard Stephen Curry continues to be sidelined due to a right knee injury and will be re-evaluated in 10 days, the team announced Wednesday. Curry, a two-time MVP and four-time NBA champion, has missed the last 15 games due to patella-femoral pain syndrome and bone bruising in his right knee. The team shared that he has been working out on the court individually the last few days and will continue to intensify those workouts based on his progress before he's next evaluated on March 21.

Why it matters

Curry's extended absence has been a significant blow to the Warriors, who have lost 10 of the 15 games he has missed and are currently ninth in the Western Conference standings, a half-game back of the Los Angeles Clippers in eighth and 1 1/2 games ahead of Portland for the final play-in tournament spot.

The details

Curry, 37, hasn't played since Dec. 30 vs. Detroit. The 12-time All-Star is averaging a team-high 27.2 points per game in 39 games this season, his 17th with Golden State. This additional 10-day absence will also sideline for Curry for upcoming games against the Minnesota Timberwolves, New York Knicks, Washington Wizards, Boston Celtics and Pistons.

• Curry has missed the last 15 games due to the injury.
• Curry will be re-evaluated on March 21.

What’s next

The judge in the case will decide on Tuesday whether or not to allow Walker Reed Quinn out on bail.
