The Golden State Warriors are bracing for the possibility of being without two-time MVP guard Stephen Curry for several games after he injured his ankle in Sunday night’s game, ESPN reported.

Curry was set to undergo an MRI after spraining his left ankle in the Warriors’ 112-104 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr called the injury “mild or moderate” after the game.

Curry first left the game with 2:43 left in the third quarter after injuring the ankle. He didn’t leave the bench area and was reinserted into the contest with 8:08 remaining in the fourth. But his return lasted just 13 seconds after he aggravated the injury and exited for good, limping significantly and using support from teammate Gary Payton II.

Curry finished with 18 points in 27 minutes. He made four of his seven 3-point attempts and added six assists.

“Hate to have it, especially with him,” Warriors guard Gary Payton II said after the game. “But we’ll be all right. … Hopefully he doesn’t miss too many, but we’ve got to figure it out.”

Curry is averaging 18.3 points, 6.7 assists and 5.3 rebounds in three games.

The Warriors host the New Orleans Pelicans for back-to-back games beginning Tuesday night.
