Stephen Curry’s foot injury will be “re-evaluated in two weeks”, the Golden State Warriors have revealed.
Curry sustained the injury in Wednesday’s 110-88 defeat to the Boston Celtics, leaving the court in the second quarter after contesting a loose ball with guard Marcus Smart.
Reports on Thursday said the 34-year-old would be out “indefinitely”, and the Warriors confirmed on Friday that the player has suffered a sprained ligament in his left foot after undergoing an MRI.
“Stephen Curry, who exited Wednesday’s game vs. Boston with 4:09 remaining in the second quarter due to a left foot injury, underwent an MRI on Wednesday night,” a tweet from the Warriors read.
“The MRI indicated that Curry suffered a sprained left foot ligament. He will be re-evaluated in two weeks.”
Curry scored 47 points in his previous game against the Washington Wizards on Monday, and has averaged 25.5 points per game this season for the Warriors.
He broke Ray Allen’s record for most career three-pointers in December, though this season his percentage from beyond the arc sits at 38.0, slightly down on his career average of 42.8.
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr criticised Smart for “dangerous play” in the incident, and the duo exchanged words on the sidelines shortly after.
Smart defended himself from Kerr’s claims, stating that Curry’s injury was “unfortunate” and that he was “not a dirty player”.
