Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry will undergo an MRI after exiting Sunday’s 112-104 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers with a sprained left ankle.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr told reporters after the game that Curry has a “mild or moderate” injury:
Curry suffered the injury in the fourth quarter:
He was subsequently ruled out. He had 18 points, six assists, four rebounds and two steals in 27 minutes prior to exiting.
Curry is coming off another solid season, which saw him average 26.4 points, 5.1 assists and 4.5 rebounds during the 2023-24 season. His career accolades include four NBA championships, two NBA MVP awards and 10 All-Star Game appearances.
The 36-year-old also added a gold medal after helping lead Team USA to a perfect 6-0 record at the Paris Summer Olympics.
Obviously, the Warriors need a healthy Curry back to have any chance at competing for the playoffs.
If Curry has to miss time, guards Brandin Podziemski and backup De’Anthony Melton would likely see increased roles. Others assuming more duties include Draymond Green, Jonathan Kuminga and Andrew Wiggins.
