Warriors' Stephen Curry: Out for at least 10 more days
Rotowire
Curry will have his right knee injury re-evaluated by medical staff in 10 days, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
Curry has been sidelined by a lingering right knee injury since Jan. 30, which prevented him from playing in the Warriors' final five games before the All-Star break. The superstar guard hasn't progressed enough in his recovery as hoped, and he'll have his knee looked at again by medical staff in early March to determine a clearer timeline for a return. With Curry sidelined, the Warriors will continue to lean more heavily on Pat Spencer, Brandin Podziemski and Gary Payton.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Will scrimmage Wednesday
Rotowire
Head coach Steve Kerr said Tuesday that Curry (knee) will participate in Wednesday's scrimmage before the Warriors determine his status for Thursday's game against the Celtics, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
Curry missed Golden State's final five games prior to the All-Star break due to a right knee issue but could return Thursday. If the superstar isn't cleared to play, Pat Spencer and Brandin Podziemski would be candidates for increased playing time. Curry should be considered questionable for Thursday's contest until the Warriors provide an update on his status.

Rotowire
Curry (knee), who is out Monday against Memphis, has also been ruled out for Wednesday's game against San Antonio, Sam Gordon of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
With this news, Curry won't return to action before the All-Star break, and coach Steve Kerr also mentioned that the star point guard won't participate in Sunday's All-Star Game, per Gordon. This will give the 37-year-old another 10 days to rehab and recover, as the Warriors aren't scheduled to play after Wednesday until Feb. 19 against Boston.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Considered doubtful for Monday
Rotowire
Head coach Steve Kerr said Saturday that Curry (knee) can be considered doubtful for Monday's game against the Grizzlies, and there's a "good chance" the superstar doesn't play again until after the All-Star break, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports.
Curry will miss a third consecutive contest Saturday due to a right knee injury, and it appears the Warriors will err on the side of caution with their veteran point guard. Pat Spencer, De'Anthony Melton and Brandin Podziemski (illness) are candidates to see an uptick in minutes for as long as Curry is sidelined. He has two more opportunities to return before the All-Star break.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: No timeline for return
Rotowire
Curry (knee) doesn't have a timetable for a return to action, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
Slater suggests the Warriors are taking a cautious approach with their franchise centerpiece's right knee injury, which could entail keeping Curry off the court until after the mid-February All-Star break. For now, it appears safe to rule him out for Saturday's game against the Lakers and consider him doubtful for Monday's tilt against Memphis. Plenty of minutes remain up for grabs, with De'Anthony Melton, Pat Spencer, and Will Richard all being candidates for increased run.

Rotowire
Curry (knee) will not play Tuesday against the 76ers, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports.
Curry, who was unable to practice Monday, remains day-to-day for the Warriors. His next chance to play comes Thursday against the Suns. In Curry's absence, players such as Brandin Podziemski, De'Anthony Melton and Pat Spencer could see a short-term boost in fantasy appeal.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Leaves early Friday with sore knee
Rotowire
Curry won't return to Friday's game against the Pistons due to right knee soreness. He'll finish the game with 23 points (7-16 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two assists, one rebound and one block across 25 minutes.
Curry was seemingly dealing with some discomfort in his knee and had a noticeable limp before exiting to the locker room in the third quarter. The superstar point guard has been dealing with right knee inflammation of late, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the 76ers. If Curry is forced to miss time, Pat Spencer could re-enter the rotation, and Brandin Podziemski could see more playing time in an on-ball role.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Exits to locker room Friday
Rotowire
Curry exited to the locker room during the third quarter of Friday's game against the Pistons due to an apparent right leg injury, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Curry showed discomfort after a three-point play and exited to the locker room after a brief talk with Drew Yoder, the team's assistant athletic trainer. He had a noticeable limp and grabbed the area around his right knee before checking out. It's worth noting that the superstar point guard has been dealing with right knee inflammation of late. The severity of the potential injury is uncertain, but losing Curry would be a huge blow for a Warriors team that already lost Jimmy Butler (knee) for the rest of the season. If Curry isn't able to return, look for De'Anthony Melton and Will Richard to see more minutes in the Warriors' backcourt.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Paces Golden State in win
Rotowire
Curry chipped in 27 points (7-14 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 9-10 FT), two assists, two steals and one rebound across 28 minutes in Wednesday's 140-124 win over the Jazz.
Curry returned from a one-game absence and delivered an efficient performance against Utah, finishing with a game-high 27 points. He has reached the 25-point mark in each of his last three appearances, though he also dished out fewer than three assists in two of those games. It's worth noting that the superstar point guard had some sort of right foot/ankle issue during the contest and eventually changed his shoes, according to Anthony Slater of ESPN.com. While Curry never went back to the locker room, the apparent lower leg issue is worth monitoring ahead of Friday's game against the Pistons.

The two-time MVP led the Warriors in scoring on the day while setting a new season high in steals, and Curry likely would have taken a run at 30 points had the game been closer.

Golden State and Minnesota were slated to play Saturday, but the game was postponed until Sunday. That means the Warriors now have a back-to-back Sunday and Monday, and Curry is at risk of missing the opening leg. Curry has played both ends of four of Golden State's six back-to-backs this season.
