Stephen Curry, the driving force behind the Golden State Warriors offense, is set to miss at least two games following an ankle sprain sustained against the Los Angeles Clippers. Curry’s injury was a scare for Warriors fans as he has a history of ankle issues. Fortunately, evaluations revealed no structural damage, but he will be sidelined for home games against the New Orleans Pelicans. The team will re-evaluate Curry’s condition on Friday, but in the meantime, his absence will undoubtedly be felt on the court.
The injury occurred in the fourth quarter, with Curry limping off after rolling his ankle while setting a screen on Nicolas Batum. Early in the game, he had already shown signs of discomfort, trying to stretch out the injured ankle on the sidelines. This setback leaves the Warriors facing a big question: who will step up in Curry’s absence?
When asked about his replacement, head coach Steve Kerr admitted he wasn’t sure who would take on the primary scoring role. With a 12-man rotation still in experimentation, Curry’s absence disrupts the team’s strategy, forcing Kerr to reassess his lineup as he awaits the star’s return.
Though the injury is a blow, the positive outlook is that Curry’s sprain is relatively minor. Warriors fans are hopeful he’ll be back on the court soon, leading his team to victory.
