Curry to sit out All-Star Game with injury

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry will miss Wednesday's contest against the San Antonio Spurs and the upcoming NBA All-Star Game in Los Angeles, head coach Steve Kerr told reporters Monday, including The Athletic's Nick Friedell.

Curry missed the Warriors' last three games due to a knee injury. He last played Jan. 30 against the Detroit Pistons but exited before the fourth quarter due to knee soreness.

Curry had been dealing with the injury for a week before his early departure versus Detroit.

"It's a matter of learning as I go what works rehab-wise," Curry told ESPN's Anthony Slater. "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."

Curry was recently selected for his 12th All-Star Game. The 37-year-old was set to play alongside LeBron James and Kevin Durant for Team USA Stripes on Feb. 15.

Curry is eighth in the NBA with 27.2 points per contest. He's also tallying 4.8 assists, 3.5 boards, and 1.1 steals across 39 appearances this season.
