Stephen Curry missed his 24th straight game for the Golden State Warriors on Friday night but is set to resume 5-on-5 scrimmaging in the coming days with hopes he might still return from a lingering right knee injury before the end of the regular season.
The 38-year-old Curry was re-evaluated Friday ahead of the team’s home game against the Washington Wizards for the patella-femoral pain syndrome/bone bruising he has been dealing with for the past two months.
He is scheduled to be evaluated again next week. Golden State had initially hoped he would return right after the All-Star break, and Curry sat out the All-Star Game this year. Curry, leading the Warriors with 27.2 points per game, last played Jan. 30 against Detroit.
