Golden State Warriors superstar Steph Curry will miss some time with a right ankle sprain, but his absence isn't expected to be lengthy, the Athletic's Shams Charania reported Friday.
Charania reports that Curry will miss "at least a game," but the team is optimistic that he won't be out of the lineup long term.
The two-time MVP injured his ankle late in Thursday night's loss to the Chicago Bulls. It's the same ankle Curry has hurt several times previously during his 15-year career.
Curry rolled the ankle driving to the basket then quickly limped off while exiting and headed to the locker room with 3:51 to play having scored 15 points on 5-for-18 shooting playing nearly 29 minutes.
He began 1 for 7, missing four of his initial five three-point tries, to score just five points by halftime as Golden State trailed 63-59 at the break. He connected from deep with 9:35 left in the third.
Curry, who turns 36 on March 14, leads the Warriors in scoring at 27.2 points per game to go with 5.0 assists and 4.4 rebounds.
