Warriors’ Stephen Curry returned from a six-game absence nursing an injured right ankle only to go down again. This time, it’s his left knee.
The Warriors announced Saturday that Curry will be out for at least three weeks after an MRI revealed a Grade 2 medial collateral ligament sprain.
The team says he will be re-evaluated at that time.
Curry came back and scored 29 points before spraining his knee in the second half, and the banged-up, undermanned Golden State Warriors held off the Atlanta Hawks 106-94 on Friday night.
“Kind of a strange, cruel twist of fate,” coach Steve Kerr said. “He rehabs his ankle for the last couple weeks, he gets that strong and then the knee goes. So we’ll see what happens and we’ll keep our fingers crossed.”
