The Warriors have listed Stephen Curry as questionable for Wednesday’s game against the OKC Thunder, updating his injury status. This announcement follows news that the Splash Bro is dealing with bilateral patellofemoral pain, a condition now affecting both knees. Previously, the Bay Area team only reported issues with his left knee, so this new detail suggests a broader concern for Steve Kerr. Knowing both knees are involved adds a level of worry about the extent of the aging star’s discomfort.

It could indicate something more widespread, making this injury crisis feel a bit more serious. But we have more clarity on the situation now thanks to Dr. Nirav Pandya who has explained the problem, an injury analyst for @957thegame on X.

Dr. Pandya wrote on X, “Patellofemoral pain is common in athletes; particularly those who partake in running/jumping repetitively. It usually presents as dull pain around the kneecaps. It usually resolves with rest / decreased load.”

So it looks like this is not as concerning as it seemed. With his deserved rest, Stephen Curry should get better.

Steph has been a consistent presence on the court this season, playing 11 straight games since returning from an early-season ankle sprain. That sprain sidelined him for three games, the only ones he’s missed so far this season.

How have the Warriors fared without Stephen Curry?

The Warriors have stumbled after a strong start, dropping their last two games in frustrating fashion. Sloppy turnovers, bad decisions on offense, and blown defensive assignments made it hard to compete in embarrassing losses to the Spurs and Nets. It’s the kind of play that reminds you of a team still finding its rhythm.

Despite the recent setbacks, Golden State’s 12-5 record has them in a much better spot than this time last year. They’re still in the hunt for the top seed in the Western Conference, which should give fans hope. Stephen Curry continues to light it up offensively, but the rest of the team has struggled to match his consistency. Without him stepping up, Golden State hasn’t found a reliable second scorer.

If you’re watching Curry do it all, you’ve got to wonder how much longer he can shoulder this kind of burden.

But without Curry, the Warriors have flawlessly been 3-0 this season. Through their first six games, the Warriors drained 103 three-pointers, a franchise record for this early in a campaign. Mind you, Curry wasn’t playing three of them!

What’s even more impressive is how the team has maintained its elite perimeter shooting without the Splash Bro on the court. It speaks volumes about the depth Steve Kerr has built, thanks to several offseason moves paying off immediately.

Buddy Hield, who came out firing earlier in the season, has cooled off recently. Delivering in a big way after arriving in a summer sign-and-trade. Hield made history by becoming the first NBA player to hit at least 27 three-pointers in his first six games with a new team. That’s not just impressive—it was game-changing.

But where is he now? Can the Warriors replicate the success they had in those three games again if the situation arises? Will Buddy Hield rise to the occasion once again?
