The 2024–25 NBA season has been a revolution for Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors. When they started the campaign, they had no idea what their efforts would accomplish. They are currently sixth in the Western Conference rankings with a 37-28 record, but that changed when they acquired Jimmy Butler at the deadline.
Curry has also been dealing with a knee issue this season. The two-time MVP suffered from tendinitis in both of his knees back in December. The Warriors star told the media that it shouldn’t be a major worry, even though he missed a few games as a result.
In an interview with 95.7 The Game’s “Steiny & Guru” on Wednesday, he discussed his experiences with the knee problems. Curry claimed that although he still has it, neither his health nor his life has been significantly impacted.
“It’s still there,” Curry said about his knee tendinitis. “I feel good. I think the idea is I’ve learned my body this year more than I have — had to, the previous years.
“I’ve learned my body and learned what it needs to do to get right. Over the last two months I’ve been able to commit to that process.
Additionally, Curry explained how having another star player like Butler take some responsibilities on the court off him.
“It helps obviously to have another guy where the load isn’t as demanding physically and emotionally every single game. Doesn’t mean that I’m not approaching it the same way but it feels different… The vibe and everything on the court, it does help because you’re not carrying that load.”

The four-time champion has played in 56 games and averaged 24.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 6.1 assists despite his ongoing knee problems. Curry has been able to step back and give his body brief rests, thanks to Butler.

Curry’s current four-year, $215 million deal is set to expire after the 2025-26 season. However, he’ll still be with the Warriors as he signed a one-year, $62.6 million contract extension with the organization. By that time, it’ll be his 18th year in the NBA.
