Steph Curry injury
Definition
A phrase commonly used in sports media and fan discussions to refer to any physical injury sustained by Stephen 'Steph' Curry, the NBA superstar point guard for the Golden State Warriors, famed for revolutionizing three-point shooting.
In contemporary usage (as of early 2026), it specifically denotes Curry's patellofemoral pain syndrome—aka runner's knee—in his right knee, which sidelined him since late January, turning Warriors games into a collective therapy session for splash-hungry fans.
