The Golden State Warriors had their worst day of the young NBA season on Sunday, losing a home game to the LA Clippers 112-104 and, more importantly, losing two-time MVP Steph Curry to an ankle injury.
After the game, Steve Kerr expressed some cautious optimism, listing Curry’s injury — sustained after ankle rolls in both the third and fourth quarters — as “mild or moderate.” And, after having an MRI on Sunday night, it appears as though that’s exactly what the injury is.
The Warriors announced on Monday afternoon that Curry has a left peroneal strain, and that, thankfully, there is no structural damage to his ankle.
