Warriors’ Steph Curry to miss 2 games due to ankle injury

Golden State Warriors superstar Steph Curry will miss the next two games after suffering a left ankle injury in a tie against the LA Clippers on Sunday and he will reevaluated on Friday. Curry twisted his left ankle with three minutes remaining in the third quarter and immediately went to the bench to be assessed by the medical team.

The talisman returned to the floor after four minutes into the fourth frame but aggravated the injury. Subsequently, an MRI was done on Monday morning and it was found that the injury was not serious.

“The MRI was positive,” Kerr said after practice on Monday. “That’s the main thing. No significant damage.”

The Dubs suffered a 112-104 loss against the Clippers. Curry finished the night with 18 points on 6-of-11 shooting, including four made 3-pointers and six assists but his efforts went in vain in the end.

Furthermore, the Warriors will be without the services of De’Anthony Melton for Tuesday and Wednesday games against the New Orleans Pelicans due to a back injury. Moreover, Andrew Wiggins is also doubtful for the Tuesday match with a back strain. 

With no Curry and Melton, the Warriors’ bench strength will be under the scanner.

“I trained myself during the offseason to be ready to play 35 to 40 minutes on any given night,” guard Brandin Podziemski said. “So I’m ready for that. I know Buddy [Hield] is the same way — he’s fast, energetic and in shape too. I know Steve can rely on me and Buddy.”

Head coach Steve Kerr will hope that he soon receives back the services of his main man. The Warriors will next take on the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday.
