The Golden State Warriors started their season as perfectly and healthy as possible, until Sunday night. Throughout Sunday night’s game against the Clippers, Curry was seen laboring with an ankle injury.
As the game against the Clippers progressed, Curry was seen in more and more pain with an apparent ankle injury. The injury stemmed from Curry twisting his ankle in the third quarter of the game.

Prior to exiting the game, Curry put up 18 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds, and 2 steals on 55/57/100 shooting from the field. Curry only put up 11 shots in the game, but he was having an incredibly efficient night prior to the injury. He only ended up playing 26 minutes before exiting the game.

Hopefully, Curry’s injury isn’t too serious, and the Warriors’ vaunted depth can prove itself throughout his absence.
