The Golden State Warriors started the season strong, winning their first two games after an undefeated preseason. However, their momentum took a hit when they faced the Los Angeles Clippers and suffered a 104-112 loss. The game was particularly concerning for the Warriors, as star player Stephen Curry injured his ankle in the fourth quarter.
After the game, worries about Curry’s injury began to surface. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr gave an update on the point guard’s situation that raised some alarming concerns among fans.
“He’s doing okay. He said it was; I think he used the mild or moderate. He’s obviously sprained that ankle many times before, so he doesn’t think it’s too bad. Obviously, it’s a concern; he’s going to get an MRI tonight,” Kerr said.
Before leaving due to the injury, Curry, who recently garnered praise from Shaquille O’Neal, put up a strong performance, scoring 18 points, grabbing 4 rebounds, and providing 6 assists over 27 minutes.
Dr. Evan Jeffries Analyzes Stephen Curry’s Ankle Sprain And Potential Comeback
Following Stephen Curry’s ankle injury in the Golden State Warriors’ recent game against the Los Angeles Clippers, sports injury analyst Dr. Evan Jeffries shared his thoughts on the potential severity. According to Dr. Jeffries, Curry likely sustained an inversion (lateral) ankle sprain, a common type of ankle injury.
A positive factor in Curry’s favor is his use of Zamst ankle braces, which Dr. Jeffries believes could help reduce the severity of the sprain. He outlined a possible timeline for recovery, noting that if the sprain is mild (Grade I), Curry could be back in 1-2 weeks. For a moderate (Grade II) sprain, recovery may extend to 4-6 weeks.
