Stephen Curry had to leave last night’s game against the Detroit Pistons during the third quarter after an and-1 sequence against Ausar Thompson — in which he took Thompson off the dribble, made use of his patented “Curry slide,” and drew a foul on his way to a nifty finish — due to what was deemed as “right knee soreness.”
At certain points before the sequence above, Curry was in clear discomfort. It was also clear — according to reports — that Curry’s discomfort was apparent during warmups.
According to the Golden State Warriors, Curry underwent an MRI and was diagnosed with what is deemed as patellofemoral pain syndrome, more commonly known as “runner’s knee.”
Curry is considered day-to-day and his status against the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday is to be determined.
