Stephen Curry was in a good enough mood after Game 2 of the NBA Finals to deliver a funny line about his history of ankle injuries.
During Game 1, Klay Thompson suffered an ankle sprain after a collision with JR Smith. He reportedly received around-the-clock treatment prior to Game 2.
Thompson did play in Game 2 and scored 20 points in 34 minutes on the floor. After the game, Thompson was responding to a question about his ankle when Curry interjected with a line that prompted laughter.
Klay: "I didn't realize how much you used your ankle until I hurt it."
Curry: "You should've asked me." #NBAFinals pic.twitter.com/DHMOLbZVtY

Curry has had his share of ankle injuries during his career. If there’s one person who knows what it’s like dealing with one and recovering from one, it would be him. Thompson certainly has a good resource at his disposal.
