Two-time NBA All-Star game Most Valuable Player Stephen Curry will not compete in Sunday's annual showcase due to an ongoing injury to his right knee.
Golden State coach Steve Kerr announced the news prior to the Warriors' game on Monday evening versus the Memphis Grizzlies.
Curry will not play vs. Memphis on Monday or San Antonio on Wednesday, missing his fourth and fifth consecutive games. He is suffering from patellofemoral pain syndrome, also known as runner's knee.
The Warriors are hopeful that Curry will return after the All-Star break when they host the Boston Celtics on Feb. 19.
'It's a matter of learning as I go what works rehab-wise,' Curry told ESPN. 'Because it's still painful. You have to try to get rid of all the inflammation and pain. It's something we still have to monitor and injury-manage, but it's something where, if I come back too early, it could flare up.'
Curry has missed 14 games to date, but is averaging 27.2 points per game, the fifth-highest per game total of his 17-year career.
He has not played since leaving a Jan. 30 home game vs. Detroit.
Curry joins the Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdomen) as All-Stars who will miss Sunday's game in Los Angeles. Gilgeous-Alexander has been replaced on the Team World roster by the Houston Rockets' center Alperen Sengun.
The NBA hasn't announced a replacement for Curry on Team USA.
