Following an MRI that showed no structural damage to his right ankle, Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry is anticipated to have a brief absence from the court, according to ESPN. His status remains one to watch given the importance of NBA playoff seeding.
Curry sustained an ankle injury towards the end of a Thursday night game against the Chicago Bulls. He had an MRI on Friday and is set to focus on rehabilitating the injury, with expectations that he won’t miss a significant number of games, insiders revealed.
As Curry begins treatment, a more definite timeline for his return will become clearer based on how well his ankle reacts in the forthcoming days, per ESPN. Klay Thompson was already expecting to have to play without Curry for the near future shortly after seeing the injury.

“He had his ankle wrap on, icing his ankle,” Thompson said. “I know we’re going to miss him … if he does have time off. We’ve been in this position before where he has had time off and we have to do it collectively. I know he’ll be ready to go when he does come back.”
Draymond Green mentioned Curry’s spirits were “high.” Green expected Curry to “get an MRI soon.” On the duration of Curry’s absence, Green commented, “We’ll see.”
