Steph Curry’s right ankle joint underwent an MRI and was found to be structurally intact; the team announced that he will be reassessed on Tuesday, March 12.

This update indicates that Curry will likely miss a minimum of two games, including Saturday’s contest against the Spurs and Monday’s rematch in San Antonio. In order for the Warriors to make a push to avoid the play-in round, their superstar point guard must return as soon as feasible and without missing a step.

Saturday night at home against the Spurs, who will also be without rookie phenomen Victor Wembanyama, will be the first contest Curry will miss. Curry could return for games in Dallas and Los Angeles, both of which will have more significant postseason implications, assuming his re-evaluation on Tuesday is successful.

Steve Kerr described the bottom of the conference as “the deepest” he has ever seen. Golden State is in competition with the Mavericks and Lakers to avoid the play-in round. Curry’s participation in those contests could significantly influence the playoff seeding.

Curry is averaging 26.9 points per game in his fifteenth season, with 44.9% field goal percentage and 40.7% three-point field goal percentage. Late in the fourth quarter of Thursday night’s contest against Chicago, he was dismissed from the game with a right ankle injury sustained during a drive to the rim.

Despite the absence of specific information regarding the severity of Curry’s sprain in the team-issued update, it appears that his injury is not as severe as initially speculated.

Curry’s high spirits after sustaining the injury, according to Draymond Green, are encouraging for an athlete with a history of debilitating ankle injuries. However, Klay Thompson’s remarks appeared to indicate that the Warriors were preparing for Curry’s absence.

Klay Thompson expressed her concern that if he were to take time off, the team would miss him terribly. “We have previously been in a situation where he required time off and we simply had to figure it out collectively.” I have no doubt that he will be prepared to depart whenever he returns. We simply wish him a rapid recovery and advise him to enjoy himself.”

A swift recuperation has already commenced, as Curry and the Warriors cannot afford to squander time at this crucial juncture of the season.
