The NBA's best player won't be taking part at the upcoming Rio Olympics.
Stephen Curry announced Tuesday (NZT) that he will not be putting his hand up for Rio selection, citing ankle and knee injuries.
The reigning two-time NBA Most Valuable Player has never played at the Olympic Games before.
"After a great deal of internal thought and several discussions with my family, the Warriors and my representatives, I've elected to withdraw my name from the list of eligible players on Team USA's preliminary roster for the 2016 Summer Games in Brazil," Curry said in a statement.
"My previous experiences with USA Basketball have been incredibly rewarding, educational and enjoyable, which made this an extremely difficult decision for me and my family. However, due to several factors -- including recent ankle and knee injuries -- I believe this is the best decision for me at this stage of my career."
Curry has missed four games during the Warriors playoff run because of a sprained knee.
The Warriors hold a 2-0 series lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals and it two victories away from clinching their second consecutive NBA championship.
Game 3 of the NBA Finals in Cleveland will take place on Thursday (NZT).
