Injuries can often be freak occurrences with no discernible cause or reason. They can happen out of the blue as often as they happen because of preceding causes or factors. For Stephen Curry — who suffered two left ankle rolls in the Golden State Warriors’ 112-104 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers — the second gnarlier roll may have definitely been a result of trying out an ankle that was already compromised from the first one.
The first one seemingly happened out of the blue. An attempt to plant his left foot resulted in a moment of traction overload, which resulted in a slight ankle bend and a limping Curry, who was set to sub out anyway according to his typical minutes pattern.
