The Golden State Warriors avoided the worst-case scenario Friday, as an MRI on Steph Curry’s right ankle came back clean, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported.
Curry, who exited the Warriors’ 125–122 loss to the Chicago Bulls early after suffering the ankle injury, is expected to miss at least one game. But the Warriors reportedly are optimistic they’ll have their star guard back on the floor soon, The Athletic’s Anthony Slater reported Friday.
