Steph Curry Gets Ominous Knee Injury Update

In this story:
Steve Kerr told reporters Wednesday that Stephen Curry will not play in Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics.
Curry was not healthy enough to practice Wednesday. Nick Friedell wrote on X that Curry will be re-evaluated on Wednesday night. He added that Curry could get an MRI.
Curry hasn't played since leaving the game in the second half against the Detroit Pistons on Jan. 30. His injury has been called "runner's knee."
Meanwhile, Kristaps Porzingis did practice, and he'll be listed as questionable for Thursday's game. Porzingis has been out with Achilles tendinitis. He last played on Jan. 7
Earlier Wednesday, the Warriors announced that Seth Curry (sciatica) will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
Warriors' Rotation Against Celtics Will Be Thin
With both Currys and Jimmy Butler out, the Warriors will have just 11 players under standard contracts available at most. If Porzingis misses the game, they'll have just 10.
The Dubs were able to squeak out two wins while severely undermanned right before the All-Star break, but the Celtics offer a challenge that will be more difficult to overcome than the Suns without Devin Booker or the Grizzlies without Ja Morant.
The Celtics are 35-19 even without Jayson Tatum having played this season. Jaylen Brown (29.3 PPG) is having a career year, and both Derrick White and Payton Pritchard are averaging 17.2 poins per game.
Expect the Warriors to give heavy minutes to Gui Santos, Moses Moody, Brandin Podziemski and Pat Spencer. De'Anthony Melton, Draymond Green and Al Horford will likely settle in around 25 minutes, and Gary Payton II, Will Richard and Quinten Post will see some time off the bench.
