Stephen Curry Injury Update: Warriors Get Sigh of Relief With Major News—but There's a Catch

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry has received positive news concerning his right ankle sprain, which he suffered during their recent home game against the Chicago Bulls on Thursday, March 7, at the Chase Center in San Francisco, California.

Following an MRI conducted on Friday, March 8, the 35-year-old's right ankle showed no significant issues.

A more definite timeline for his return will be established based on how his ankle responds over the next several days, according to league insider Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

Nevertheless, the league's all-time three-point leader is anticipated to be sidelined for some time, likely missing at least one or a few games due to the right ankle sprain.

Despite this, there is optimism that his absence will not be prolonged, per Shams Charania and Anthony Slater of The Athletic.

Curry rolled his right ankle while moving to the basket late in the fourth quarter during their game against the Bulls.

Despite attempting to walk off the discomfort by limping around the court, he eventually left the game and headed directly to the locker room with just under four minutes remaining.

The absence of the two-time MVP was keenly felt in the crunch time, as the Warriors suffered a narrow defeat with a final score of 125-122.

The Warriors' current record of 33 wins and 29 losses places them in ninth place in the Western Conference standings.
