Warriors Confirm Left Tibialis Strain for Curry
Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors has been officially diagnosed with a left tibialis strain, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania on October 28. The injury will be reassessed on Friday, November 1, after Curry underwent an MRI on October 27, following an injury during the fourth quarter of the Warriors’ 112-104 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.
Concerns Over Curry’s Injury History
Head Coach Steve Kerr noted post-game that the injury appears mild to moderate, yet Curry’s history of left ankle sprains has raised concerns. Kerr hinted that the Warriors might need to play without Curry for a few games, but he is optimistic that the team’s depth will help maintain their offensive pace.
The Incident Leading to Curry’s Injury
The injury began when Curry twisted his left ankle with under three minutes left in the third quarter, forcing him to exit for treatment by trainer Drew Yoder. Returning for the fourth quarter, Curry sustained a muscle strain moments later, prompting his removal from the game.
Curry’s Season and Recent Successes
So far this season, Curry is averaging 18.3 points, 6.7 assists, and 5.3 rebounds per game. He entered the season in high spirits after winning his first Olympic gold medal over the summer, making this injury a significant early setback for both him and the team.
