The Golden State Warriors’ superstar Stephen Curry suffered a left foot sprain in an 88-110 loss to the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night that will reportedly keep him off the floor for the remainder of the season. However, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Warriors are optimistic that Curry will recover in time for the first round of the playoffs.
Curry got hurt in the second quarter while trying to make a play for a loose ball. Before he could get to it, Celtics guard Marcus Smart dived to grab the ball and landed on Curry’s ankle. The two-time MVP was slow to get up and was visibly limping before heading to the locker room.
After the game, Curry underwent an MRI test that showed there is no structural damage on his foot. However, he will know the full extent of the injury after meeting with a foot specialist soon.
Stephen Curry’s injury comes at a bad time for the Warriors, who have won just four of their last 10 games and started slipping in the standings. Golden State is currently third in Western Conference with a 47-23 record. They are nine games behind the leading Suns and 3.5 games in front of the Utah Jazz and the Dallas Mavericks on no. 4 and no. 5.
Curry played 64 games in 2021-22, averaging 25.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per contest.
