The Golden State Warriors star was attempting to corral a low bounce pass while navigating an oncoming double-team in the paint and tried to plant hard on his right foot to set up a pass out to the left wing.
There's a level of optimism about how Steph Curry's ankle sprain responded overnight from the Warriors. They face the Spurs at home, Spurs on the road and Mavericks in the next six days. https://t.co/W96m96mAiW

After his shoe caught, his right ankle rolled pretty badly, shouted in immediate pain, and spent the next 30 seconds limping up and down the court, attempting to walk it off.

Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium reported Curry is expected to miss "at least a game or few games," but his absence is expected not to be lengthy. He updated on X,
“Warriors star Stephen Curry will miss some time – at least a game or few games – with a right ankle sprain, but there"s optimism his absence will not be lengthy, sources tell me and [Anthony Slater]."
As per the update of ESPN"s Adrian Wojnarowski, Curry"s MRI on his ankle came back clean, so he "won"t miss much time."
After a very positive injury update, Curry will not have to miss extended time, he is expected to miss at least one game, and possibly a few, an extended absence has been ruled out.
Draymond Green said in postgame,
"Spirits are high. We’ll see. Think he may get an MRI."
The Warriors lost on Thursday by a score of 125-122 and seemingly had more significant concern as the two-time MVP Curry left the game with an injury and did not return.
