The start of the season for the Golden State Warriors was like a dream come true. However, that dream quickly turned into a nightmare during their home opener against the Los Angeles Clippers. In the third quarter of the game, Steph Curry seemed to roll his left ankle while fighting through a screen. He immediately went to the bench for treatment and returned to the game in the fourth quarter.
Unfortunately, his return was short-lived as he appeared to aggravate his injury while setting a screen. He had to leave the game and head to the locker room for further evaluation. The team announced that he had suffered a left ankle sprain and will undergo an MRI later that night.
According to coach Steve Kerr, the initial indication is that it is not a serious injury. Curry himself has had issues with his ankles in the past, but after undergoing corrective surgery, he has been one of the league's most reliable players. He has only missed 250 games out of a possible 1,209 in his career.
Curry had 18 points in 27 minutes before leaving the game, and he had been a key player in the Warriors' first two wins of the season. Without him, the team struggled to keep up with the Clippers and ultimately lost the game. It's unclear how much time Curry will have to miss, but it's a concern for the team moving forward.
In his absence, the Warriors will have to rely on other players to step up. One option could be Andrew Wiggins, who scored 11 of his 29 points in the fourth quarter while Curry was out. Kerr also mentioned that they have a deep team and many players who can contribute. It will be a team effort to make up for Curry's absence.
This is a developing story, and we will provide updates as they become available.
