SAN FRANCISCO — The Golden State Warriors have ruled out star point guard Stephen Curry for Wednesday night’s game against the Western Conference-leading Oklahoma City Thunder due to pain in both knees.
Curry was downgraded to out on the NBA injury report with bilateral knee; patellofemoral pain.
Jonathan Kuminga returned to practice after missing two games due to illness, and coach Steve Kerr said the forward looked good. Curry and Draymond Green were held out of practice on Tuesday.
Curry logged 29 minutes and had 28 points and seven assists in Monday’s loss to the Brooklyn Nets.
The Warriors (12-5) have already played one stretch without their superstar this season, going 3-0 when Curry was out with a peroneal strain in his left ankle from Oct. 29 through Nov. 2.
After getting out to a 10-2 start, Golden State has dropped three of its last five games, and the schedule only gets tougher. Including the game against the Thunder (13-4), the Warriors face Phoenix, Denver, Houston, Minnesota (three times) and Memphis over an eight-game stretch.
