SAN FRANCISCO — Golden State Warriors veteran superstar Stephen Curry missed the Monday, Feb. 9 game against the Memphis Grizzlies with right knee soreness as he felt pain in his right patellofemoral.
Curry’s injury, a common overuse injury causing pain around or behind the kneecap, is expected to keep him out of action in the immediate future.
During a pregame press conference, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr told reporters that Curry would be out, missing upcoming games, including the 2026 NBA All-Star Game on Sunday, Feb. 15 at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.
‘He will not play against San Antonio, he will not play in the All-Star Game,’ Kerr said about Curry’s timeline for return from injury.
Curry is averaging 27.2 points, which is the eighth most in the NBA for the 2025-26 season. He is shooting 47% from the field, 40% from deep and 93% from the free throw line. He’s appeared in 39 games for Golden State this season.

The NBA has not announced who will replace Curry in the 2026 NBA All-Star Game.
