SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) — Golden State Warriors star guard Stephen Curry, who has missed the team’s past 15 games with a bruised right knee, will miss at least another 10 days, the National Basketball Association (NBA) team announced on Wednesday.

Doctors re-evaluated Curry’s bone bruising and patella-femoral pain syndrome and said Curry is making good progress in recovering and will be examined again in 10 days.

The two-time NBA Most Valuable Player and four-time NBA champion who turns 38 on Saturday has been working out alone on the court in recent days and plans to intensify the sessions.

Curry, who last played on January 30 against Detroit, is averaging a team-best 27.2 points a game.

He will miss at least five more games for the Warriors, who at 32-33 rank ninth in the Western Conference.

Curry will miss games against Minnesota, New York, Washington, Boston and Detroit with a potential return on 21 March in Atlanta.
