Stephen Curry injury update: quad contusion after Warriors win

Curry leaves the arena limping but finished the game

The Golden State Warriors beat the New York Knicks 126–113, but postgame attention shifted to Stephen Curry. The 37-year-old guard was seen favoring his leg in the tunnel and later said he was dealing with a quad contusion. He played through the issue, but clearly showed some discomfort after the final buzzer.

Performance, recent history and outlook

Even while bothered, Curry had a strong night: 27 points on 10-of-17 shooting, 4-of-9 from three-point range, and seven assists in 34 minutes. Earlier this season he missed a three-game road trip after suffering a right quadriceps contusion and muscle strain in December, so the team will likely be cautious with his recovery.

With the win the Warriors improved to 23–19 and moved into eighth place in the Western Conference. The team will monitor Curry’s condition over the next few days and share updates as they become available.
