Warriors’ Stephen Curry makes offseason golf joke about nagging knee injury

The Golden State Warriors’ 2025-26 season has officially come to an end. Sure, the focus for many is on the team’s future. Superstar Stephen Curry, however, is looking forward to some much-needed rest and perhaps a few rounds of golf.

That follows the Warriors’ season-ending loss to the Phoenix Suns in the Play-In Tournament on Friday night. Afterwards, Curry addressed the media regarding the persistent right knee injury that forced him to miss over two months of action late in the regular season. When asked if he required any procedures or specific treatment this summer, the four-time champion turned to his second-favorite sport for a bit of levity.

“They say golf helps my knee. Did my research,” Curry joked, drawing laughs from the press room. “Hopefully rest will get me right heading into training camp. I don’t feel like there will be any long-term symptoms or anything.”

The joke offered a lighthearted moment at the end of a grueling year where Curry was sidelined for 27 games with patellofemoral pain syndrome. His return provided an emotional lift, yet the Warriors (36-42) struggled for consistency. Heading into the 2026 NBA Draft, Golden State must prioritize secondary scoring and frontcourt depth to alleviate the burden on their aging core.

While the Dubs’ director of sports medicine and performance Rick Celebrini monitors Curry’s “golf therapy,” the franchise faces looming questions. That includes Steve Kerr’s future. With Curry eyeing an extension and his 18th season, the front office must maximize this window. Ensuring the “Baby-Faced Assassin” is 100 percent by October remains the top priority for a team desperate to return to title contention.
