Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry is expected to return for the start of the Western Conference playoffs with a left foot sprain, but will undergo further evaluation with specialists, sources told ESPN.
Curry and the Warriors are conferring with Dr. Richard Ferkel, a renowned foot specialist, on the injury, sources said.
Curry suffered the injury in a collision with Boston's Marcus Smart on Wednesday night, and an MRI overnight revealed the foot sprain. There's no structural damage and Curry is believed to have avoided serious injury, sources said.
