SAN FRANCISCO – The Golden State Warriors gave an update on Steph Curry on Wednesday, saying that a MRI revealed no structural damage to his injured knee.
In a statement, the team said that Curry would miss Thursday night’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He is expected to be re-evaluated at “some point later this week,” the Warriors said.
Curry sustained the injury after falling on his right knee during Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The injury forced the superstar guard to miss Tuesday night’s game, an In-Season Tournament matchup that was also against Minnesota.
The Warriors, who are 6-6 in this young NBA season, lost both games.
While waiting for Curry’s return, Golden State is also without Draymond Green, who was suspended for five games after putting Timberwolves star Rudy Gobert in a headlock during a fight early in Tuesday’s game.
Green was ejected, along with Klay Thompson and Jaden McDaniels of the Timberwolves, who were also involved in the fight. Thompson, Gobert and McDaniels were each fined $25,000 by the league.
