A concerning update on Stephen Curry’s ankle condition is received by the Warriors

Stephen Curry might miss the final stretch of the Warriors’ season

Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry is set to undergo imaging on his injured right ankle on Friday, according to ESPN’s Kendra Andrews.

Curry left Thursday night’s game against the Chicago Bulls late in the fourth quarter after appearing to roll his right ankle. After hobbling around on the court to try and loosen things up, the two-time MVP was helped back to the Warriors’ locker room, heavily favoring his injured ankle.

While attempting to drive toward the rim on offense, Curry’s right foot got caught up under him while attempting to plant and pass between Bulls defenders Coby White and Alex Caruso. The replay shows Curry’s ankle turning in and the star immediately in pain. Usually, these types of injuries involving the outside part of the ankle are lateral sprains. The severity of the injury will be determined by further imaging and tests.

Klay Thompson discussed Curry’s injury after the game, claiming that if the 10-time All-Star is forced to miss time, the team is really going to miss him. Draymond Green also chimed in, stating that Curry was in “high spirits” following the team’s 125-122 defeat and his early exit from the game.

This injury to Curry could not have come at a worse time for the Warriors. Their loss to the Bulls on Thursday night puts them at 33-29 on the season, tied with the Los Angeles Lakers at the bottom of the play-in tournament region of the Western Conference standings. Should Curry be forced to miss any chunk of time over the final month or so of the regular season, Golden State’s chances of rising out of the play-in tournament region of the standings will be slimmed down.

Given his reaction to the injury and the concern within the Warriors organization, it does appear as if everyone is expecting Curry to miss some time. The results of his imaging on Friday will be revealed by the team later in the day.
