Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry sprained his ankle while playing against the Sacramento Kings.
On Friday, April 10, the 33-year-old American basketball point guard suffered a minor ankle injury during the second quarter while attempting a steal against Kings’ guard Devin Carter.
The video and photos from the game show the awkward and painful bend of his ankle; However, according to San Francisco Chronicle, he is expected in the Warriors’ Sunday, April 12 battle with the LA Clippers.
After Curry’s injury and his chances of hitting the ground on Sunday diminished, Warriors suffered another setback losing the match to Kings by just six points as Kings scored 124 while Warriors were stuck at 118.
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr showed unwavering belief in his team when he said, “I think we can win two games because I know these guys and I believe in them.”
“But I also know that we are not yet where we need to be. We showed that tonight. So on Sunday I would like to get more reps. Have more focus, fewer mistakes and we have a few days to prepare and get after it,” he joked.
It is pertinent to mention that Curry, who later soaked his ankle in ice water, is committed to playing Sunday’s match against LA Clippers.
Sitting on his chair in the visiting locker room with a towel over his head and his ankle in ice water, the footballer said: “As long as it’s not my knee. I can deal with ankles.”
“I’ve always dealt with that. So that was the interesting part. My knee felt pretty good. Even better than the last game,” Stephen Curry joked.
