Stephen Curry says left ankle is fine, will try not to dunk anymore

Steph Curry says that his left ankle is fine and that he won't try to dunk anymore.

Some familiar concerns were raise throughout the Golden State Warriors 12-point Game 1 victory over the Utah Jazz, namely point guard Stephen Curry‘s notable ankle issues.

Curry led the way with 22 points, but seemed bothered by his ankle upon landing from a fast break layup. He was later seen getting treatment from Head Performance Therapist, Chelsea Lane, who soon cleared him back into the game.

The All-Star guard said his ankle was fine and would try not to dunk during fast breaks anymore, according to Marc J. Spears of The Undefeated.

Curry seemed to get quite the unusual lift-off, which he ended up just finishing with an easy off-the-backboard bunny.

The 6-foot-3 point man has had his fair share of ankle injuries early in his career and most recently during last year's playoffs, missing six games during the Warriors' last postseason run.

Golden State is likely to play a careful approach with him after this small incident, but if the long-range sniper can stick to where his bread is buttered, he should have no problem staying off the dunks for the remainder of the playoffs.
