Video clips from a promotional tour in China showing Stephen Curry moving cautiously have prompted questions about his right knee heading into training camp. The 38-year-old Golden State Warriors guard missed 27 games last season due to patellofemoral pain syndrome, an injury that proved difficult to manage during his recovery. While the footage does not confirm a specific setback, it highlights concerns regarding his ability to remain available throughout the upcoming NBA season. Reports indicate the knee now requires consistent management, marking a change for the veteran who has previously been recognized for his durability. Curry, who sat out the 2026 All-Star Game during his recovery, faces increased pressure to maintain his physical condition to contribute for Golden State. Observers continue to monitor his status as the team prepares for the new campaign.
