Stephen Curry's Injury Worries Ahead of Celtics Showdown
The Golden State Warriors are facing a tough challenge as they prepare to take on the defending champions, the Boston Celtics, in a highly anticipated matchup. However, their star player, Stephen Curry, may not be at full strength for the game due to a left ankle injury. Curry was hurt during the Warriors' recent victory over the Washington Wizards. With just over a minute left in the game, he got tangled with the Wizards’ Jordan Poole. After contesting a shot, Poole fell backward onto Curry’s right foot, causing him to lose his balance and tweak his left ankle. Curry limped for a short while, trying to walk it off during a timeout, but ultimately left the court early, watching the final moments from the locker room.
Despite the injury, Curry remained optimistic. He stated that he didn’t believe the injury was serious, offering a quick "Feels great" comment postgame and adding, "See you on Monday." However, his status for the game against the Celtics remains uncertain, with the Warriors listing him as day-to-day. The team will surely be hoping for the best, as Curry is crucial to their offensive game. The 36-year-old is leading the Warriors in scoring, with an average of 22.9 points per game in his 16th season.

To make matters worse, the Warriors are also dealing with another injury concern—Draymond Green. He sustained a left calf injury during the first quarter of the same game against Washington. Green’s injury could lead to him missing the upcoming matchup with Boston, and an MRI is expected to provide more details on the severity of the injury.
The Warriors are entering this game with other players on the injury list, including Jonathan Kuminga, who is out with a right ankle sprain, and Kyle Anderson, who is dealing with left gluteal bursitis. Additionally, Brandin Podziemski is out with a right abdominal issue. The injury report paints a picture of a Warriors team that could be stretched thin as they prepare for a tough challenge against the Celtics.
Meanwhile, the Celtics have a clean injury report, with only a few players out due to G-League assignments. This gives them an advantage heading into the game. Both teams have had their fair share of struggles lately, but with the Warriors’ injuries and the Celtics’ recent slump, it’s a matchup that could go either way. Fans are eagerly awaiting this showdown, with the Warriors hoping for Curry’s quick recovery and a strong performance against Boston’s stacked roster.
