Steph Curry isn't too worried about his injured right ankle
The Golden State Warriors beat the Houston Rockets 104-78 on Saturday in Game 1 of the first round of the NBA playoffs, but the team's news wasn't all good. In the second quarter, star point guard Steph Curry turned his right ankle and mostly sat out afterward.
"Right now I don't see a scenario where I'll be out," USA Today reports he said of Monday's Game 2. "Obviously, if it's not right and at risk of further injury or whatnot, that's the only thing that I think we have to worry about. Pain tolerance and all that stuff, I kind of know what I can deal with on the court, but you don't want anything more serious to happen favoring an ankle."
Curry, who led the Warriors to a record 73 regular season wins, has had multiple surgeries on his right ankle.
