Tension arises in Chase Center after Stephen Curry limps off the court. Amid the intense battle between the Chicago Bulls and Golden State Warriors, the Dubs have faced a double blow late in the fourth quarter. Following Trayce Jackson-Davis, Steph walked off the court after twisting his ankle during his attempt to collect the ball near the rim.

Even though Steph tried to walk it off after the scary accident, he couldn’t resist the pain. Then, he immediately was assisted to the locker room with Rick Celebrini following behind.

However, the reactions coming out after Steph walked out of the court weren’t welcoming. Curry’s former teammate, Festus Ezeli, dropped a shocking statement reacting to the injury video. Ezeli added, “I was relieved that it wasn’t worse than what it was, ankle sprain but Steph Curry, he has had a history of those ankle injuries and so hope he just gets back on the court soon.”

After Steph twisted the ankle, the superstar tried to walk it off. Even though it looked like a promising sign, Ezeli’s comments on Steph’s history with ankle injuries proved it wrong. On the other hand, speaking to the reporters, Klay Thompson revealed the current status of his partner’s injury. He added, “He has an ankle wrap on, icing it” While Klay’s statement didn’t reveal the severity of the injury, Steve Kerr further doubled it down.

During the post game press conference, Kerr said, “I don’t know yet. He got his foot in a bucket of ice right now. I haven’t talked to the training staff yet.” 

 

The Warriors management refused to update on the severity of the superstar’s ankle. And, in case Steph’s injury is serious, the Warriors’ playoff dreams could come crashing down.
