Despite an all-world talent, the lone thing that has held Stephen Curry back from joining the elite of the NBA’s elite during his short NBA career has been injury problems. Freak or not, Curry has continually found himself on the training table far too often, especially when it comes to ankle injuries.

It’s something that the Warriors and Curry felt took place again recently when the former Davidson talent was injured during Wednesday’s game, though, an MRI revealed that Curry actually suffered a bone bruise, not a sprained ankle:

"Warriors point guard Stephen Curry got some good new Thursday. An MRI revealed he sustained a bone bruise in his left ankle, per Golden State.No ankle sprain."

Curry also twisted his knee in the dust-up with Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Ricky Rubio, though, he did not suffer any serious damage thankfully and is being called day to day.

He’ll continue to get treatment and will be a game-time decision for the Warriors against the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night.
