dailyloe.com – Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry will miss at least two more games as he recovers from a knee injury. The team announced the extended absence on Friday, March 27, 2026. This development severely limits his preparation time before the NBA postseason.
Coach Steve Kerr emphasized the urgency of the situation for the Warriors. He stated Curry needs a proper runway of games to return effectively. The team is rapidly running out of regular season contests to provide that.
Curry has been sidelined with patella-femoral pain syndrome and bone bruising. He has missed 25 consecutive games since January 30. The guard was unable to participate in a planned scrimmage this week.
He will be re-evaluated again next week, according to team officials. Curry is confirmed out for Sunday’s game against the Denver Nuggets. He also missed Friday’s victory over the Washington Wizards.
The Warriors have only seven games left in their regular season. They are almost certain to begin the playoffs in the Western Conference play-in tournament. Their current record stands at 36 wins and 38 losses.
Golden State holds the final play-in spot in the competitive Western Conference. They face a depleted roster with Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody out for the year. This places immense pressure on the team’s aging core.
Kerr explicitly ruled out bringing Curry back solely for a single play-in game. The coach insists the guard needs multiple games to regain his rhythm. This timeline creates a significant strategic challenge for the franchise.
The Warriors’ playoff positioning appears largely locked with few games remaining. They are in no immediate danger of falling lower in the standings. However, their path to a deep postseason run now seems increasingly difficult.[]
