Golden State Warriors All-Star guard Stephen Curry had an MRI exam that came back clean on his ailing right knee, but he has not returned to practice because of persistent pain and swelling, ESPN reported on Thursday afternoon.
Curry, who turns 38 on March 14, already was ruled out of the Warriors' home game on Thursday night because of patellofemoral pain syndrome, also known as 'runner's knee.'
He has not played since leaving a Jan. 30 home game against Detroit, missing five contests leading into the All-Star break. He initially felt pain during a Jan. 24 individual workout and kept playing before being sidelined.
Golden State coach Steve Kerr had hoped to have Curry back by Thursday, but Curry told the training staff on Wednesday night that the knee had been flaring up after individual workouts and wasn't ready for a live scrimmage, ESPN reported.
'Just wasn't where he needed to be,' Kerr said on Wednesday. 'It's unfortunate.'
A two-time NBA MVP, Curry had to sit out his 12th All-Star Game last weekend. He has missed 16 games to date, but is averaging 27.2 points per game, the fifth-highest per game total of his 17-year career.
'It's a matter of learning as I go what works rehab-wise,' Curry told ESPN on Feb. 5. 'Because it's still painful. You have to try to get rid of all the inflammation and pain. It's something we still have to monitor and injury-manage, but it's something where, if I come back too early, it could flare up.'
