Kristaps Porziņģis
March 2026
Porziņģis remains out with a lingering, unclear medical issue described as “mysterious,” creating uncertainty around his availability and travel status. He returned to practice and was listed questionable, but stayed out again due to illness. Kerr said the staff is working to find clarity and the player wants answers and consistency.
Stephen Curry
March 2026
Curry remains out with patella-femoral pain syndrome and a bone bruise in his right knee, with another evaluation set in 10 days. Golden State said he is making progress; he has missed 10 games and last played on January 30 against Detroit.

Golden State expect Kristaps Porzingis to debut against Boston, but Stephen Curry may miss additional time after being unable to take part in a live scrimmage due to a knee issue, with another MRI possible. Kerr said Curry was “not where he needed to be” and the team would reassess after more treatment, potentially consulting Dr. Rick Celebrini and considering additional imaging. Porzingis, acquired at the deadline in a deal involving Kuminga, has managed illness and Achilles tendonitis and is averaging 17.1 points and 5.1 rebounds in 17 games.
Stephen Curry
February 2026
Curry will sit out the All-Star Game in Los Angeles due to ongoing right knee trouble described as patellofemoral pain syndrome. Kerr says the plan is rest now and aim to return after the break if day-to-day progress holds. Curry left a game on Jan. 30 with the sore knee and later had an MRI, then missed multiple games. The update also notes Golden State is without Butler after ACL surgery, compounding availability issues heading into the post-break schedule.
Stephen Curry
January 2026
Curry moved into sole possession of 19th all-time in scoring by passing Paul Pierce, finishing with 27 points in a 140-124 win. He did it with a first-quarter stepback three, continuing a strong January and adding to late-career scoring milestones, with a path to climb further if he stays healthy.

January 2026
Curry and Green were held out of a loss to the Timberwolves due to knee soreness and a back issue, adding to a depleted rotation already missing Jimmy Butler and Jonathan Kuminga. Kerr said Curry’s knee worsened enough Monday morning to rule him out, with optimism both could return next game, while the broader context is a compressed schedule and multiple key injuries.
Jonathan Kuminga
January 2026
Kuminga will miss more time after suffering a bone bruise and hyperextended left knee, with re-evaluation timing to be set in coming days. He was injured at Dallas and had imaging on Friday. He had only just re-entered the rotation after Jimmy Butler’s season-ending injury.
Jonathan Kuminga
January 2026
Kuminga injured his left ankle and knee on a drive against Dallas and will undergo imaging, adding uncertainty to Golden State’s rotation after Jimmy Butler’s season-ending ACL tear. Kuminga stayed in briefly after the incident, then exited and did not return; Kerr confirmed an MRI while noting Kuminga had just re-entered the rotation after a month out, prompted by Butler’s injury.
Jimmy Butler
January 2026
Butler suffered a season-ending right ACL tear and will need surgery, forcing the Warriors to adjust rotations while trying to maintain momentum from a strong stretch of form. He landed awkwardly after contact, MRI confirmed the tear, and Kerr said the group will adapt by testing lineups, potentially reintroducing Kuminga, and leaning more on Horford, Melton, and developing bench pieces to cover Butler’s two-way impact.
