Stephen Curry will be sidelined for at least the next two games for the Golden State Warriors due to a concerning ankle injury he sustained.
The injury occurred during Thursday’s game against the Chicago Bulls, casting doubt on his availability for the remaining weeks of the regular season. Despite this setback, an MRI revealed no significant damage to Curry’s ankle, offering some optimism for his return. However, the team announced that the 35-year-old will require at least three days of rest and recovery before his condition can be reassessed on Tuesday. As a result, Curry will miss the Warriors’ back-to-back matchups against the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday and Monday.
The earliest opportunity for Curry’s return would be the game against the Dallas Mavericks next Wednesday, pending positive results from his evaluation. If his recovery progresses as hoped, he may also be available for the game against the Los Angeles Lakers next Saturday.
Given Curry’s age and the proximity of the postseason, the Warriors are taking a cautious approach to ensure his full recovery rather than rushing his return. Their priority is not only having Curry back on the court but also ensuring he is in optimal health as they aim for a late push towards the playoffs.
While there is optimism for Curry’s speedy recovery, fans will need to remain patient and await further updates on his status.
