Warriors: MRI shows no structural damage to Curry’s left ankle


The Golden State Warriors announced Monday that an MRI of Stephen Curry’s sprained left ankle on Monday did not detect any structural damage and described the injury as a left peroneal strain.

He will be re-evaluated on Friday, meaning he will miss at least two games.

Curry suffered his left ankle late in the third quarter of Sunday’s 112-104 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, tried to return then exited again and left the court for the locker room.

Curry returned briefly at the 8:08 mark of the fourth quarter before exiting again 13 seconds later after turning the ankle — it appeared to roll outward — again during an offensive possession. It happened near the end of Golden State’s bench and he limped into the tunnel that goes to the locker room.

The team said was was done for the night with a sprained left ankle and coach Steve Kerr said after the game that Curry described the injury as “mild or moderate” after the game. However, there was a level of concern for the veteran, as he has suffered multiple sprains on that ankle.
