Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry will be a game-time decision to play in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the San Antonio Spurs, Warriors coach Mark Jackson said Saturday.

Curry injured his ankle with less than five minutes remaining in their Game 3 102-92 loss. Curry rolled his already surgically repaired left ankle, but did not leave the game.  He had X-rays on the ankle and they came back negative.

Curry played 42 minutes in Game 3, scoring 16 points on 5-17 shooting. He also had eight assists. The Spurs lead the best-of-seven series two games to one. Game 4 is Sunday afternoon in Oakland.

Golden State Warriors head coach Mark Jackson felt that the Denver Nuggets were playing “dirty” and put “hit men” out on Warriors guard Stephen Curry during Game 5 of the team’s first-round playoff series.

Nuggets coach George Karl said that’s not the case and that Jackson must be “watching a different movie than I’m watching.”

Jackson’s comments came after the Nuggets 107-100 victory in Game 5 in which Curry was held to a series-low 15 points. Denver now trails Golden State 3-2 in the best-of-seven series. Game 6 is on Thursday in Oakland.

“Every playoff series I’ve been in, and I’ve been in a lot of them, as the series goes on, it gets more physical,” Karl said to the Denver Post. ”We don’t like each other, we shouldn’t like each other, there’s pain and anguish to every win and loss. Competitive spirit. I’m just trying to figure out what movie he’s watching, because it’s not the one I’m watching.”

Karl said that the Warriors have been playing extremely physical ball as well.

“If there’s a scorecard and we’re in a boxing fight right now, they’re winning the fight,” Karl said. “OK, we won a round (here and there), but I’m going to tell you, I’ll go to any arbiter now and show the dirty shots – they’re winning. Some of them are really good at the things they do. Andrew Bogut started it, the Green kid (Draymond) is really good at it and Festus (Ezeli) is pretty good too.”

Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry made an early exit from Saturday night’s game against the Wizards with a rolled ankle. Although the X-rays came back negative, his Monday night return against the Lakers is still up in the air.

Curry received treatment on his ankle Sunday and will receive further treatment Monday to see if he can play. Curry said he was optimistic he’ll play, but he will likely be a game time decision.

Before injuring his ankle on Saturday, Curry was shooting lights-out against the Wizards, scoring 35 points on 13-for-18 FGs. He also scored 30 points last Monday against the Hornets.

The team is tentatively optimistic in their success against the Lakers without Curry.

“We’ve all got to play more collectively and be aggressive,” Warriors guard Klay Thompson said. “We’ve got to share the ball and be unselfish. We can’t do it individually. Steph is one of our leaders. We’ve won without him before, but it’s not easy to replace Stephen Curry.”

If Curry’s ankle treatment is anything like Kobe’s, he should be good to go on Monday night.

The Golden State Warriors are once again dealing with a rash of injuries despite giving fans a brief tease Monday night with a lineup that featured Andrew Bogut and Stephen Curry on the floor for the first time since early November.

Curry remains day-to-day after he rolled his surgically repaired right ankle in the third quarter of the Warriors’ win Monday night in Toronto against the Raptors. According to reports on Twitter from Warriors beat reporter Marcus Thompson for Bay Area News, the team officially listed him as questionable for Tuesday night’s game in Cleveland against the Cavs, who also might be shorthanded as Kyrie Irving was sent home from shootaround with the flu.

News of Curry’s status is just another chapter in the frustrating narrative for the Warriors this season. The sharpshooter had two surgeries in the offseason and missed a number of games throughout the year because of repeated ankle sprains. The initial diagnosis for his latest injury is that he has a “mild” ankle sprain and will remain day-to-day.

Bogut will reportedly sit out against Cleveland on Tuesday night, according to a tweet from Cavs play-by-play announcer John Michael. It’s unclear whether he suffered a setback in the win against Toronto or if it’s more of a night off to allow him to slowly come back from a lingering left ankle injury.

At 27-17, the Warriors are currently second in the Pacific Division behind the Los Angeles Clippers.

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry is out indefinitely with a right ankle sprain, the same ankle he injured multiple times in the 2010-11 season that led him to surgery in May 2011 to repair torn ligaments and again in April 2012.

Curry’s latest sprain came after he was chasing a loose rebound during a recent shootaround. He sat out Wednesday night’s blowout home loss to the Miami Heat and head coach Mark Jackson said Curry will be shut down for an indefinite amount of time so that he can rehab the ankle once again, according to a report from The San Jose Mercury News:

“It was really a freak injury. We don’t do much in shootaround — (he was) just chasing after a loose rebound. It’s unfortunate. We will shut him down. He’ll get treatment, and we’ll see where he goes.”

X-rays on his ankle came back negative but Curry said he has no idea if this latest recovery will be fast or slow:

“I haven’t been in this situation for a while. I don’t know if it will be a fast or slow kind of deal just because after two surgeries and all that process, it finally had the time to cool down.”

After rehabbing his ankle for several months from his previous surgeries, Curry came back healthy again and was signed to a four-year, $44 million contract extension with the Warriors before the start of this season. In 36 games so far this season, he is averaging 20.5 points, 6.6 assists, 1.6 steals and a league-leading 3.1 three per game.

The Golden State Warriors and point guard Stephen Curry reached an agreement on a contract extension Wednesday, reports the San Jose Mercury News.

The deal is for four years for $44 million and Curry is expected to sign the deal before the team’s season opener Wednesday night in Phoenix. Curry would have become a restricted free agent at the end of the season if he and the Warriors did not come to an agreement.

“Excited I got it done. Now I can move forward and focus on basketball,” Curry told Yahoo! Sports. ”My ankle was a big factor with the number. They had to protect themselves a little bit.”

Curry, 24, missed 40 of 66 games last season because of an ankle injury and averaged career lows of 14.7 points and 5.3 assists per game.

#Dubs Gameday baby. And thanks to Joe Lacob & the Warriors hopefully I can say that for the next 4 yrs. agreed on extension—

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry will sit out the remainder of the preseason, Warriors coach Mark Jackson said, reports the Bay Area News Group.

Jackson says he isn’t concerned about Curry’s right ankle, which he re-injured Friday night in a preseason game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Jackson said he doesn’t see any reason to risk further injury. The Warriors have two preseason games remaining before opening the season at Phoenix on Oct. 31.

Curry had surgery on the ankle in April. He missed 40 games last season because of trouble with the ankle, and averaged career lows of 14.7 points, 5.3 assists and 3.4 rebounds.

In what appears to be a troubling trend for the young rising star of the Golden State Warriors, Stephen Curry has once again been diagnosed with a sprained right ankle.

The Warriors’ 23-year-old point guard severely sprained the ankle three times last season and reinjured it last week in a preseason game against the Kings. He played through the pain in two regular-season games this week, including a dazzling performance against the Bulls. Curry dropped 21 points, 10 assists, seven rebounds and six steals in a 99-91 victory over the Eastern Conference heavyweights, but he also rolled the ankle in the fourth quarter. Today’s MRI results confirmed the ankle was sprained, according to CSN Bay Area.

Curry is listed as day-to-day, but it’s unlikely he plays until this weekend. The third-year guard missed today’s practice, and his agent Lance Young told USA Today that his client would sit out tomorrow night’s game against the Knicks. Golden State’s next game after that is Saturday night in Philadelphia.

Curry averaged 18.6 points and 5.8 assists for the Warriors last season. He had surgery at the end of the year to strengthen the ankle, but so far, it hasn’t been enough.

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry re-injured his surgically repaired right ankle in Tuesday’s loss against the Sacramento Kings, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Curry re-injured the ankle while defending Jimmer Fredette’s crossover at the top of the key. Curry then crawled toward the sideline, visibly in pain. Team doctors have diagnosed the injury as a sprain and Curry will be re-examined today.

Last season, Curry severely sprained his right ankle three times. This offseason, after surgically repairing the ankle with a noted specialist, the Warriors believed any instability in the ankle had been repaired.

“We got to the bottom of it, got it fixed, and it shouldn’t be any problem going forward,” general manager Larry Riley told reporters this offseason, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Before re-injuring his ankle, Curry played 15 minutes and tallied seven points, five assists and three steals.
