ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported Friday that Curry’s MRI returned “without structural damage.” Wojnarowski’s report states Curry isn’t expected to miss much time.
The two-time MVP will begin rehabbing his ankle during his absence, which should only be for a few games. However, the Warriros will know more about Curry’s return as the “ankle responds to treatment in the next couple of days.”
Warriors fans can breathe a sigh of relief knowing their star player should be back sooner rather than later. Golden State is 0-3 without Curry this season.
