The injury has been bothering Curry since it flared up during a workout a few weeks ago. He has not played since exiting in the third quarter against the Detroit Pistons on January 30. The Warriors lost, 131-124.
While fans are hoping that the 37-year-old Curry will return soon, ClutchPoints' Kenzo Fukuda reported that the two-time MVP will be sidelined for a few more days .
"Steve Kerr has made it official that Steph Curry will not be available versus San Antonio and will not participate in the All-Star Game. Still recovering from runner's knee," wrote Fukuda on X.
The Warriors will face the Spurs on Wednesday. They have a 28-25 record, including 17-8 at home, entering their game against the Grizzlies.

Curry has now missed 15 games this season . He is averaging 27.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 1.1 steals.
Curry will join Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder on the bench in next month's All-Star Game in Los Angeles . Gilgeous-Alexander will sit out due to abdominal strain.
The NBA has yet to announce who will replace Curry. Alperen Sengun of the Houston Rockets has been tapped to take Gilgeous-Alexander's spot.
Curry said while his knee status is improving , he is still dealing with pain and inflammation.
"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," said the four-time champion in a report from ESPN's Anthony Slater.
