Is Steph Curry playing in the 2023 NBA All-Star Game? Latest update on the 9x All-Star's injury and possible date of return
Steph Curry has dealt with several injuries in the 2022-23 NBA season. The Golden State Warriors guard has appeared in only 38 games, which is a big reason why the Dubs are ninth in the West.
The four-time champion is dealing with a leg injury, which is why he's missed the last three games. However, it doesn't appear that he will be back anytime soon.
Curry has been ruled out of the 2023 NBA All-Star Game, and the league has already replaced him. The Warriors guard will be re-evaluated after the All-Star break, and we will have more information regarding his injury.
Steph Curry will not play in the 2023 NBA All-Star Game
The Golden State Warriors have had a very disappointing season. After winning their fourth title in the last eight years last year, the Warriors are only 28-28 and may miss the playoffs.
Curry's injury troubles haven't helped them. The nine-time All-Star has missed 18 games so far, including 11 straight earlier in the season. Unfortunately, NBA fans won't be able to watch him during the All-Star Game, either.
Curry's All-Star absence is even worse considering that he is the only All-Star on the Warriors. However, considering how badly they have played this season, it's no surprise that Curry's teammates were not selected to participate in the game.

The Warriors guard will not be the only player to miss the game. Zion Williamson and Kevin Durant will also be sidelined with injuries. The three have been replaced by De'Aaron Fox, Pascal Siakam and Anthony Edwards.
When will Steph Curry return from injury?
The Warriors have two more games to play before the All-Star break. They host the Washington Wizards on Monday night and will be without Curry. The Wizards are 8-3 in their last 11 games and beating them will be quite a challenge for the Dubs.
The last game for the Warriors before the break will be in Los Angeles against the Clippers. Curry will not be available for this game, either, as his return date still hasn't been revealed.
