The Golden State Warriors enter the 2026-27 season with uncertainty regarding the health of Stephen Curry. Team staff are managing lingering issues with his right knee, which was diagnosed as runner's knee in January. While the two-time MVP expressed confidence in his ability to play at least 70 games, the organization may restrict his workload to preserve his health throughout the season. Curry missed 39 games last season due to complications from the injury, which prompted the team to consider shutting him down for the remainder of the year. Golden State relies on his performance to remain competitive, especially given the age of Draymond Green and the current status of Jimmy Butler. Trainers are working with the guard to adapt his routine to account for these ongoing physical constraints.
