Stephen Curry sustained a sprained left ankle during the Golden State Warriors‘ 112-104 defeat to the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. The injury occurred late in the third quarter, prompting concerns among fans and teammates alike.
Curry attempted to return to the game but re-injured his ankle just seconds after re-entering. He appeared to roll the ankle while maneuvering on the court, ultimately limping off toward the locker room. Following the incident, the team confirmed that he would not return for the remainder of the game and would undergo an MRI that evening.
Despite the injury, Curry reportedly described the severity as mild or moderate. His experience with similar injuries in the past offers some reassurance, although concerns remain about his status moving forward.
At the time of his exit, Curry had contributed 18 points, six assists, and four rebounds, showcasing his shooting skills with six successful attempts, including four from beyond the arc.
As the 36-year-old guard embarks on his 16th season in the NBA, he continues to face challenges with ankle injuries that have affected both his right and left feet in the past.
Teammates expressed their hope for a swift recovery. With Curry’s absence, players like Moses Moody emphasized the depth of the team, while Gary Payton II conveyed the team’s collective disappointment but confidence in their ability to adapt.
