Stephen Curry ruled out vs. Clippers with left ankle sprain - ESPN

SAN FRANCISCO — Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry exited his team's home opening loss to the LA Clippers early in the fourth quarter because of a left ankle sprain and was ruled out for the remainder of the game.

After the game, Steve Kerr called the sprain «mild or moderate.» Curry is set to undergo an MRI Sunday night.

Curry first twisted the ankle with just under three minutes left in the third quarter. He immediately checked out of the game, limped to the sideline and sat on the bench, where he was tended to by trainer Drew Yoder.

Curry rocked back and forth on his chair for a few minutes before beginning to stretch out his ankle with a resistance band.

Curry attempted to check back into the game four minutes into the fourth quarter. Just seconds later, as Curry tried to fight through a screen, he seemed to aggravate the injury.

This time, he exited the court and went back to the locker room, with his limp much worse than before and using support from Gary Payton II as he walked.

He finished the night with 18 points on 6-of-11 shooting, including four made 3-pointers and six assists.
