Steph Curry ‘set to be sidelined for MULTIPLE weeks with left leg injury and will miss the All-Star Game’ after limping to the locker room during Warriors’ win over Dallas Mavericks
Steph Curry will miss multiple weeks with a left leg injury, and will be forced to sit out All-Star Weekend too, according to reports.
The Golden State Warriors guard left the game against the Mavericks Saturday night, and underwent an MRI scan on Sunday to determine the full extent of the injury.
While an exact diagnosis is yet to be determined, the Athletic’s Shams Charania is reporting that Curry will be out for weeks rather than days after hobbling off.
The 34-year-old was guarding Dallas’ McKinley Wright IV when the pair bumped knees and Curry came away from the play limping.
