Curry's Last-Minute Magic Lights Up Final OT!
The 2025-26 NBA season has gone nothing like the Warriors anticipated. Stephen Curry has missed over a month with a lingering knee injury, Jimmy Butler tore his ACL , and they are without nearly half their roster. With Golden State backsliding towards the 10th seed, the injury-plagued team is running out of time to make a playoff push.
Recent reports have confirmed that Curry will miss at least the next few games as he continues to work his way back from patellofemoral pain syndrome. Despite the 38-year-old’s prolonged absence, he is still expected to return before the end of the season. But with 12 games remaining on the schedule, it may not be worth it for Curry to rush back.

30 in the second half with what the team described as knee soreness. As he was ramping up to return after the All-Star break, sources revealed that the injury was worse than anticipated, forcing him to miss a month more than what was expected. The Warriors have played it safe with their superstar thus far, citing fears of reinjury as the reason for his extended absence.
In Curry’s case, there is no magic remedy to expedite the healing process; rest and recovery are the primary treatments. ESPN’s Anthony Slater reported that whenever Curry begins to ramp up his workouts, knee pain resurfaces. This is particularly concerning for an NBA veteran who has already missed time earlier in the season with a quad contusion and muscle strain.
