Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry suffered an ankle injury on Thursday night, limping to the locker room in the final minutes of a loss to the Chicago Bulls. Curry did not return to the game, and now the team awaits official word on the severity of his injury.
In a report from Monte Poole of NBCS Sports Bay Area, it was revealed that the Warriors will make an announcement on Curry’s injury on Saturday. As Poole reported, the announcement was initially expected to come on Friday, but the team has since decided to make the announcement on Saturday.
There is no way to determine what this means as it pertains to the potentially severity of Curry’s ankle injury, but the Warriors always do a very good job of communicating these types of things to fans. Announcing regular injury updates on their players, the Warriors usually reveal reevaluation timelines in their injury announcements.
This news is what the fanbase is awaiting, and they will reportedly have to wait one more day. A lot rides on the severity of Curry’s injury, as the Warriors are in a tightly contested seeding battle as they try to run down a playoff spot in the Western Conference.
Curry’s injury is of course concerning for Golden State, but for now everyone is hoping for the best.
