Golden State Warriors superstar point guard Stephen Curry will miss at least the team's next two home games against the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday and Wednesday after suffering a left ankle sprain in Sunday's 112-104 loss against the Los Angeles Clippers, league sources told ClutchPoints. Curry underwent an MRI, which revealed a peroneal strain in his left ankle but no structural damage.

The team says he will be reevaluated by medical personnel on Friday.

After Sunday's game, head coach Steve Kerr spoke on his star's injury, claiming that Curry said his ankle injury was “mild” and “moderate.” Although this doesn't appear to be a serious injury that will sideline the 36-year-old indefinitely, it is expected that Curry will miss some of the Warriors' upcoming games. Initially, word from Golden State was that Curry's injury was not a major concern and that he would end up missing several games, a similar outlook that was reported by Kendra Andrews of ESPN on Sunday evening.

Whether or not Curry's absence extends past him being reevaluated on Friday will be determined by his pain tolerance and response to treatment.

The injury occurred in the fourth quarter when the Warriors were on offense and Curry went to set a screen by the low block for Moses Moody. As he went to set the screen, Curry rolled his left ankle and immediately hopped to the end of Golden State's bench. After the ball went out of bounds, Curry limped to the locker room in obvious discomfort with the team's medical staff. Shortly after, the team ruled him out for the remainder of the game with a left ankle sprain.

Curry finished the game with 18 points on 6-for-11 shooting from the floor to go along with four rebounds, six assists, two steals, and a block in the Warriors' first loss of the 2024-25 season.

Throughout the preseason and the early portion of the regular season, Kerr and the Warriors have raved about their depth. Without Curry, this team will now rely heavily on their newfound depth, as Brandin Podziemski and Buddy Hield will all hold larger roles. De'Anthony Melton would be a prime candidate to see his role increase, but he too left Sunday's game with a back injury. Further testing revealed a strained lower back, which will sideline Melton for the next two games as well.

It would also be expected that Andrew Wiggins will step into a lead-scoring role with Curry sidelined, as he was the team's leading scorer with 29 points in Sunday's loss.

Further updates on Curry's injury and his official timeline from the team will be provided on Friday after he is reevaluated.
