The Golden State Warriors host the Washington Wizards on Friday night, looking to extend a two-game winning streak. This is the second and final meeting of the season between the teams. The Warriors won the first game 125-117 earlier this month.
Steph Curry ruled out vs. Wizards due to lingering knee injury
Steph Curry will not play in the matchup with Washington. The point guard has been officially ruled out because of a knee issue that has kept him sidelined for most of the last two months.
This will be the 23rd consecutive game Curry has missed. His last appearance was on Jan. 30 against the Detroit Pistons.
Season snapshot for Curry
- Games played: 39
- Scoring average: 27.2 points per game
- Assists: 4.8 per game
- Rebounds: 3.5 per game
- Steals: 1.1 per game
What this means for Golden State
The Warriors are essentially locked into a spot in the Play-In Tournament, so the main focus is making sure Curry is healthy and available for the postseason window. Golden State has nine regular-season games left, and ideally Curry would play in a few to regain game feel before tournament play. For now, the team will continue without him and rely on others to carry the load.
Bottom line: No Steph Curry against the Wizards. The team and fans will watch the next few games for signs of a return, but there is no change to his status for tonight.
