Curry suffered the injury in the second half of Warriors’ 112-104 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers Sunday night at Chase Center.
According to WebMD, the peroneal tendons “stabilize the foot and protect against sprains.”
Curry first suffered the injury late in the third quarter and returned to the game less than four minutes into the fourth quarter. But on the first play he aggravated the pain and limped to the Warriors locker room.
The 36-year-old has a long history of ankle injuries, so the Warriors are likely to take a cautious approach, especially early in the 2024-25 NBA season.
The loss of Curry, even for only two games, will be a heavy burden for the rest of the Warriors squad that will be without forward De’Anthony Melton and could be without forward Andrew Wiggins.
Melton has been ruled out of both games against the Pelicans with a lower back strain. He will be reevaluated on Friday.
Wiggins, the Warriors’ leading scorer (19.7 points) in three games, is questionable with a lower back strain.
