Why the Entire NBA Playoffs Could Hinge on Steph Curry's Ankle

Stephen Curry's mysterious ankle is injecting uncertainty into a team, season and playoff race whose fate has felt predetermined since November.

The latest news is good, with Tuesday's MRI revealing nothing of concern, per Diamond Leung of the Bay Area News Group. Curry told reporters, per Leung's colleague Marcus Thompson: "Yeah I'm playing (in Game 3 Thursday). I'll put it like this: I don't see any scenario where I am not playing."

The MRI and Curry's confidence help stabilize the situation a bit, but there's still something strange going on here.
