Many people reacted to the news on social media:
@DanielWAnthro: “24th loss incoming. 🤦🏽♂️”
@DrNiravPandya: “Patellofemoral pain syndrome is a blanket term used to describe irritation of the structures / tissues around the knee cap. Age and increased workload are risk factors. Key for treatment is rest and physical therapy modalities.”
@BirdstoDaBowl: “Is he playing against the suns man…”
@FeezieFeeq: “Always learn a new word in the warriors injury reports”
Steve Kerr on Steph’s “runner’s knee”:
“Well we know it’s not too serious, so that’s the good thing. We miss him already. It’s kind of a day-to-day thing…It’s kind of been nagging at him.”
