Just as the Warriors were approaching full health with Draymond Green back in the lineup and James Wiseman training in the G League, Golden State superstar Stephen Curry will miss time with a foot injury suffered in Wednesday night’s loss to the Boston Celtics.
Curry was forced to leave the game in the second quarter after suffering the injury in a scramble for a loose ball. Boston’s Marcus Smart dove to the floor to gain possession, and Curry’s left ankle was caught underneath Smart.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr addressed Smart on the court after the incident.

According to a report from Shams Charania, Curry is out indefinitely with a sprained ligament – but X-rays were negative, ruling out a significant injury.
Warriors star Stephen Curry has been diagnosed with a sprained ligament in left foot that will sideline him indefinitely, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. X-rays on the foot returned negative Wednesday night – meaning no fracture or major damage, a sigh of relief.
