Curry questionable with ankle injury
Golden State guard Stephen Curry is listed as questionable for the Warriors’ home game with the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday be- cause of a sprained left ankle.
Curry, who leads the league in scoring at 30.7 points a game, was injured Saturday in a game against Oklahoma City. He missed about six minutes of the game, but returned to hit the winning shot in overtime. He has three straight 40point games and is considered a heavy favorite to repeat as the league’s most valuable player.
Curry’s ankle was worse Sunday and he didn’t practice Monday. “If I’m good enough to play and not put myself in jeopardy of making this thing nag me for two weeks, three weeks, I’ll play,” he said.
