Stephen Curry suffered a foot injury during Wednesday night’s game against the Boston Celtics, and it is one that could keep him out a while. Though, initial tests did reveal good news for the Golden State Warriors.
Curry has been diagnosed with a sprained ligament in his left foot, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. X-rays came back negative, so there is no fracture. ESPN reports that the Warriors are optimistic Curry will be able to return for the playoffs.

The Warriors have been a bit streaky over the past month. They entered Thursday with a record of 47-23, which places them third in the Western Conference. They have enjoyed a bounce-back season and are considered one of the favorites to win a title.
That would all change if Curry had to miss time in the postseason. The 34-year-old is averaging 25.5 points and 6.3 assists per game. With the Warriors comfortably in the playoffs, getting Curry healthy down the stretch will be a priority.
