Stephen Curry has defined an era of basketball, revolutionizing the game with his shooting. A four-time NBA champion, two-time MVP, and the league’s all-time three-point leader, he has been the face of the Golden State Warriors for over a decade.
But his career hasn’t been without setbacks. Injuries have tested him time and again, forcing him to miss significant stretches. As of March 20, 2025, Curry has been injured 59 times, per Fox Sports, though only a few have kept him sidelined for extended periods.
With his latest injury—a tailbone contusion suffered against the Toronto Raptors on March 20—questions arise once again about how long he will be out.
Stephen Curry’s Latest Injury
The Warriors’ championship hopes took a concerning hit on March 20, 2025, as Stephen Curry suffered a hard fall during the third quarter against Toronto. Attempting a pass near the hoop, he collided with Jonathan Mogbo and Colin Castleton, landing awkwardly on his lower back.
Curry stayed down for several moments before gingerly walking off with the team’s medical staff. The Warriors later ruled him out for the game with a pelvic contusion. Given his history of back and tailbone injuries, the team may take extra precautions with his recovery.
A similar injury in March 2021 sidelined him for a week, with the team keeping him out an additional four games for safety.

Curry Is On Fire In The 2024-2025 Season
Despite these setbacks, Curry remains dominant. This season, he’s averaging 24.1 points, 6 assists, and 4.3 rebounds, leading the Warriors in scoring in four of their last 10 games. He recently made history, becoming the first player to hit 4,000 career 3-pointers and he also reached the 25,000-point milestone.
Through 1,016 career games, Curry has averaged 24.7 points, 6.4 assists, and 4.7 rebounds, making 10 All-Star appearances and winning two MVPs, one Finals MVP, and four championships. He is certainly a scoring powerhouse for the Warriors. But he has been hit by an injury again. While it’s unclear when the NBA 3-point king will return, the Warriors can only hope this latest injury is a minor setback, not another lengthy absence.
