Steph Curry injury update: Steve Kerr provides latest on star's ankle injury
Steph Curry's injury raised concerns across the Warriors fanbase. However, Warriors coach Steve Kerr's injury update for his star player would calm things down for the Dubnation.
Kerr revealed that Curry's injury isn't significant. The two-time MVP told him after the game that his ankle twist wasn't serious, so he's considered day-to-day.
Meanwhile, Curry said he "feels great" and will see everyone on Monday. The Warriors have a tough stretch coming up with games against the Boston Celtics, Sacramento Kings, Chicago Bulls, LA Lakers, Utah Jazz, OKC Thunder, Phoenix Suns and Orlando Magic.
The Jazz and Bulls could be easy games to win without Curry, but the others seem difficult, especially considering the quality of the opponent and their respective roster health.
The Warriors will probably not just miss Curry for some of these matchups but Draymond Green, too. His injury remains significant, and he was limping around the Warriors bench after exiting the game. Green will also get an MRI on his left calf for further examination.
