This marks Curry\u2019s fourth consecutive missed game, and Kerr indicated that the recovery period may extend beyond that. Along with missing the All-Star Game, Curry won\u2019t play in Wednesday\u2019s matchup against the Spurs. Taking into account the games he has already missed plus the All-Star break, Curry is expected to have close to three weeks to rest and heal his knee.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s doing well,\u201d Kerr shared. \u201cThat\u2019s encouraging. It\u2019s day-to-day, so predicting exactly when he\u2019ll return is tough, but we\u2019re hopeful. The goal is to get him through this week so he can be ready to suit up after the break.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>NBA Commissioner Adam Silver will appoint a replacement for Curry on the USA Stripes team in this year\u2019s All-Star Game, which features a unique USA versus World format. This year marks Curry\u2019s 12th All-Star selection. At 37 years old, Curry is averaging 27.2 points and 4.8 assists per game while shooting 39.1% from beyond the arc. The Warriors will need to continue finding ways to generate offense without both Curry and Jimmy Butler, the latter sidelined for the season due to an ACL tear.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"All-Star_Game_Format\"><\/span>All-Star Game Format<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The NBA All-Star Game returns to NBC and Peacock this year, coinciding with the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics, creating an ideal atmosphere for a new All-Star experience: the USA versus World showdown fans have eagerly anticipated.
