SAN FRANCISCO – The Golden State Warriors have ruled out star point guard Stephen Curry for Wednesday night’s game against the Western Conference-leading Oklahoma City Thunder because of soreness in both knees.

Curry was downgraded to “out” on the NBA injury report because of bilateral knee and patellofemoral soreness.

Jonathan Kuminga returned to training after missing two games through illness and coach Steve Kerr said the striker looked good. Curry did not practice on Tuesday due to maintenance reasons, as did Draymond Green.

Kerr said he believes Curry will be ready to play in Golden State’s next game in Phoenix on Saturday. Curry will have four days off between games.

“He’s been banged up the last week,” Kerr said before the Warriors played the Thunder. “His knees are giving him trouble. That wasn’t a surprise. … Hopefully this will give Steph the time he needs over the next few days to prepare for our road trip.”

“At 36, you’re just going to be in even more pain. Luckily the MRI he had yesterday was negative. He now needs some time to heal the tendonitis in his knees and hopefully that will happen in the next few days.”

Curry played 29 minutes in Monday’s loss to the Brooklyn Nets and scored 28 points and seven assists.

The Warriors (12-5) have already played a stretch without their superstar this season, going 3-0 when Curry was sidelined from Oct. 29 to Nov. 2 with a strained peroneal nerve in his left ankle.

After a 10-2 start, Golden State has lost three of its last five games and the schedule is only getting more difficult. After Phoenix on Saturday, the Warriors face Denver, Houston, Minnesota (three times) and Memphis.
