Stephen Curry to miss 2026 NBA All-Star Game with right knee injury
SAN FRANCISCO — Golden State Warriors veteran superstar Stephen Curry missed the Monday, Feb. 9 game against the Memphis Grizzlies with right knee soreness as he felt pain in his right patellofemoral.
Curry's injury, a common overuse injury causing pain around or behind the kneecap, is expected to keep him out of action in the immediate future.
During a pregame press conference, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr told reporters that Curry would be out, missing upcoming games, including the 2026 NBA All-Star Game on Sunday, Feb. 15 at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.
"He will not play against San Antonio, he will not play in the All-Star Game," Kerr said about Curry's timeline for return from injury.
Curry is averaging 27.2 points, which is the eighth most in the NBA for the 2025-26 season. He is shooting 47% from the field, 40% from deep and 93% from the free throw line. He's appeared in 39 games for Golden State this season.

1 / 11Giannis, Curry, Doncic highlight 2026 NBA All-Star Game startersThe NBA has announced its starters for the 2026 All-Star Game. Starters were selected through a fan vote (50% weight), and a survey of NBA players (25%) and a media panel (25%). Players were selected without regard for position. See the five starters from each conference.Who will replace Curry in 2026 NBA All-Star Game?
The NBA has not announced who will replace Curry in the 2026 NBA All-Star Game.
However, that hasn't stopped NBA experts and fans from providing their two cents on who should take Curry's place.
I would 100% pick Stephon Castle as an All-Star replacement.He’s definitely earned it. https://t.co/ae5M5rKcVe
