Incident at Open Practice
Stephen Curry left the court during the Warriors open practice in San Francisco on Sunday night after a misstep on the wing caused discomfort in his right knee. He had been matched up against reserve guard De'Anthony Melton when the issue occurred, prompting him to bang the ball on the floor in frustration. Play halted as teammates showed immediate concern for his condition.
Recurring Knee Concern
The affected knee had already created major problems the prior season, resulting in Curry missing 27 games over the final two months. The team attributed the absence to runner's knee. He returned for the closing games of that campaign and dedicated the summer to restoring the knee and overall conditioning ahead of training camp.
Cautious Approach Moving Forward
Curry received clearance to participate fully in practice, yet the coaching staff has emphasized a gradual buildup to protect the joint. Curry will turn 39 in March. The Warriors begin their season Wednesday night in Los Angeles against the Lakers.
