The knee problem has not only sidelined him for stretches but also caused him to miss nearly a month and 27 games, including the All-Star Game. Despite the absence, Curry has remained a productive force when able to play, averaging around 27 points per game and continuing to anchor Golden State’s offense.
Golf has emerged as a logical cross-training tool: its low-impact, walking-heavy activity provides ongoing cardio without excessive stress on the knee, while the controlled rotational movements of the swing can improve flexibility and muscle stability. Curry is widely regarded as one of the top amateur athletes from non-golf disciplines, underscoring how seriously he takes his on-course work.
In recent remarks, Curry referenced his medical team and coaches, noting that golf “helps my knee” and that rest is likely necessary heading into training camp. He stressed that there’s no expectation of long-term symptoms if the rehabilitation progresses as hoped.
The broader takeaway is a strategic, cross-training approach to recovery—using golf to stay active and in shape while the knee heals. If Curry can maintain this balance, he aims to be a confident, high-impact contributor for the Warriors and a steady veteran presence as Golden State plans for the rest of the season and beyond.
