Stephen Curry, the star of the Golden State Warriors, suffers from a sprain in his left foot that could leave him at least until the start of the NBA playoffs in mid-April, American media reported Thursday.
The 34-year-old guard suffered the injury during Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics in the second quarter.
Curry was hit hard by Marcus Smart when both were fighting for a split ball, in an action that Warriors coach Steve Kerr later recriminated the Celtics player.
The Warriors, who lost the game 110-88, reported Wednesday that Curry suffered pain in his left foot and would be subjected to an MRI.
That “initial assessment of Steph Curry's ligament sprain on his left foot offers optimism that he will be able to return for the start of the playoffs in mid-April,” explained ESPN journalist Adrian Wojnarowski.
“There is no structural damage and Curry is believed to have avoided serious injuries,” team sources told ESPN. However, “(Curry) is expected to visit specialists soon for further evaluation.”
Curry's loss, which averages 25.5 points per game, is a serious blow to the Warriors.
Just this week the team had celebrated seeing together for the first time since 2019 Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, their stellar trio that led them to three NBA champion rings.
Thompson returned to the slopes in January after two and a half years of injury and Green, who was out for two months due to injury, reappeared on Monday in the win against the Washington Wizards.
