[Saba Sports News] There’s positive news regarding Steph Curry’s injury situation. He had to leave the Golden State Warriors’ 125-122 defeat against the Chicago Bulls on Thursday after injuring his ankle in the fourth quarter. While executing a move in the paint, Curry twisted his right ankle and had to hobble to the locker room.
Fortunately for the Warriors, the MRI results for Curry’s ankle were clear, indicating no serious damage. Although the Warriors’ key player might be sidelined for a couple of games, he’s not anticipated to be out for an extended period.
Following Thursday’s game, Golden State’s record stands at 33-29 for the season, placing them 10.5 games behind the Timberwolves, who lead the Western Conference. Currently, Golden State holds the 9th spot in the conference with 20 games remaining in the regular season.
Despite this, both the Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers have a 5.5 game cushion over the 11th place team, the Jazz, which positions Golden State well to secure at least a spot in the play-in tournament, even if Curry is absent for a few matches. This season, Curry has been performing impressively, averaging 26.9 points with a shooting accuracy of 44.9%.
