Stephen Curry injured his left ankle in the final minutes of the Golden State Warriors’ win over the Washington Wizards on Saturday night and is now considered day to day.
Curry left the game with just over a minute remaining after getting tangled with the Wizards’ Jordan Poole. After challenging Poole’s shot attempt, Curry’s left ankle was hurt when Poole fell backward onto Curry’s right foot, causing him to lose his balance.
Curry tried to walk off the pain during the timeout that followed, limping around the court, but eventually went to the locker room early as the Warriors finished the game with a 122-114 victory.
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr mentioned that Curry, who had tape on his ankle after the game, didn’t believe the injury was serious, but did not offer specific details.
“Feels great,” Curry said briefly after the game. “See you on Monday.”
The Warriors’ next game is against the defending champion Boston Celtics on Monday at home.
Curry, at 36 years old, is the Warriors’ leading scorer in his 16th season. Before Saturday’s game, he was averaging 22.9 points per game.
In addition to Curry’s injury, the Warriors also lost Draymond Green to a left calf injury during the game. Green was limping after sustaining the injury in the first quarter. Kerr said Green would undergo an MRI on Sunday. Moses Moody, who scored 13 points against the Wizards, may see more playing time if Green is out for an extended period.
