Steph Curry injured his ankle over the weekend in a game against the Clippers in the third quarter.
It didn’t look good. He immediately hobbled over to the Warriors’ bench after injuring it. Given the Warriors guard’s history with ankle injuries, this caused quite a stir for fans out there.
After the game, Steve Kerr called the injury “moderate” and said he wasn’t too concerned about it. But he couldn’t give an exact timeline on when the Warriors’ star would return to the lineup or if he’d need to miss any time at all.

According to The Athletic’s Anthony Slater, Steph Curry will miss the Warriors’ next two games, at least, before being reevaluated on Friday to determine where to go from there.
Steph Curry will miss the Warriors’ next two games against the Pelicans after his ankle sprain last night, I’m told. No structural damage. Evaluated again Friday prior to five-game road trip.

So Curry will be absent from the Warriors’ lineup until Friday at the very least, but potentially longer. That means he’ll be missing the Warriors’ national TV matchup against Zion Williamson and the Pelicans.
Curry’s long-term health is the biggest priority for Golden State here, so missing games early on in the season is likely OK with the team as long as the ankle is fully healed.
But Curry could miss quite a bit of time already this early in the season.
