Warriors' Curry gets clean MRI on right knee but not ready to play

Stephen Curry has no structural damage in his knee but is still expected to miss the next five games before being re-evaluated

The Golden State Warriors received good news regarding Stephen Curry with a second MRI on his troublesome right knee revealing no structural damage.

The two-time NBA MVP is still expected to miss at least another five games before being re-evaluated.

Curry last played Jan. 30. He has been diagnosed with patella-femoral pain syndrome/bone bruising, otherwise referred to as runner’s knee.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr said Curry will be re-evaluated in 10 days.

“It’s just lingering soreness,” Kerr said Thursday before a game against Boston. “We were hoping, obviously, that he’d be ready for tonight after getting the All-Star break but wasn’t the case. He just needs more time.”

The 37-year-old Curry is averaging 27.2 points per game this season for the Warriors, who enter Thursday eighth in the Western Conference, 2 ½ games ahead of the Clippers and Portland Trail Blazers. Falling to ninth or 10th would force Golden State to win two play-in games just to make the playoffs.
