During Thursday night's game against the Chicago Bulls, Golden State Warriors' star player Stephen Curry experienced a setback with his right ankle. The severity of the injury is currently unknown, as Coach Steve Kerr had not yet consulted with the team's medical staff immediately after the game. Curry, who has a history of ankle issues throughout his NBA career, was seen with his ankle submerged in a bucket of ice post-game.
Teammate Klay Thompson expressed concern for Curry's well-being, acknowledging the potential impact of Curry's absence on the team. Thompson emphasized the importance of collective effort in compensating for Curry's possible absence and wished him a speedy recovery.
The injury occurred when Curry rolled his ankle while driving to the basket, prompting him to exit the game with just under four minutes remaining. Despite scoring 15 points during the game, Curry struggled with his shooting, making only 5 of 18 attempts in nearly 29 minutes of play.
As the Warriors faced a halftime deficit of 63-59, Curry's performance improved in the second half, with a notable three-point shot early in the third quarter. Leading the Warriors in scoring with an average of 27.2 points per game, Curry's absence would undoubtedly be felt by the team.
Thompson expressed confidence in the team's ability to adapt in Curry's potential absence, citing their past experiences in playing without him. The Warriors are scheduled to play their next game at home against the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday.
With Curry's health status uncertain, the team will need to adjust their strategies and execution to maintain their competitive edge in the upcoming games.
