BREAKING: Steph Curry Injury Update Reported After Bulls-Warriors Game

Shams Charania and Anthony Slater of The Athletic reported an update on Steph Curry (Golden State Warriors).

On Thursday evening, the Golden State Warriors hosted the Chicago Bulls at the Chase Center in San Francisco. 

The Warriors lost by a score of 125-122, but the more significant concern was that two-time MVP Steph Curry left the game with an injury and did not return.

Following the game (on Friday), Shams Charania and Anthony Slater of The Athletic reported an update. 

Via Charania: "Warriors star Stephen Curry will miss some time – at least a game or few games – with a right ankle sprain but there's optimism his absence will not be lengthy, sources tell me and @anthonyVslater."

Curry is in the middle of another fantastic season and is averaging 26.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.9 assists per contest while shooting 44.9% from the field and 40.7% from the three-point range in 59 games. 

That said, the Warriors are tied with the Los Angeles Lakers for the ninth seed in the Western Conference and have a 33-29 record in 62 games.  

Next 4 games:

San Antonio
at San Antonio
at Dallas
at LA Lakers

Golden State is 0-3 in the games Curry did not play this season.

He is 6 games short of reaching the 65-game criteria for All-NBA. https://t.co/HdSumJcVSc

They will need to win as many games as possible down the stretch of the season to remain in contention for a top-six seed. 

There's a level of optimism about how Steph Curry's ankle sprain responded overnight from the Warriors. They face the Spurs at home, Spurs on the road and Mavericks in the next six days. https://t.co/W96m96mAiW
