Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry said he received platelet-rich plasma treatment to promote healing on his sprained right knee, the San Jose Mercury News reported Tuesday.
Curry hurt his knee while slipping to the floor during Game 4 of the Warriors’ first-round playoff series with the Houston Rockets. Golden State eliminated Houston in Game 5. Curry sat out the first two games of the team’s Western Conference semifinal series against the Portland Trail Blazers, on Sunday and Tuesday.
Before Game 1 against Portland, Curry said he hoped to return for Game 3 on Saturday.
Curry missed the second and third games of the Houston series due to a sore right ankle.
During the regular season, Curry, the league’s reigning MVP, led the NBA with an average of 30.1 points and shattered his own league record by sinking 402 3-pointers.
According to the Mercury News, Warriors general manager Bob Myers told 95.7 The Game on Tuesday that he knew Curry opted for platelet-rich plasma treatment, but he declined to discuss the issue further.
