The Golden State Warriors suffered their first loss of the season on October 26, falling 112-104 to the Los Angeles Clippers. At their first home game of the season, the Warriors looked like they could win since Kawhi Leonard was missing from the Clippers’ roster. But it was difficult to take the loss, especially since star player Stephen Curry hurt his left ankle in the fourth quarter.
Stephen Curry, a key player in the Warriors’ early-season success, initially injured his ankle in the third quarter. However, he made a brief comeback in the fourth quarter before missing the rest of the game.
Curry limped off the court and needed help to reach the locker room. The injury is considered mild to moderate, but he will have an MRI to check how serious it is.
Before he left, Curry scored 18 points, made six assists, and grabbed four rebounds. Unfortunately, the Warriors couldn’t beat the Clippers, despite some strong performances from Andrew Wiggins, who led the Warriors with 29 points, shooting 11-of-15 from the field and making five out of eight three-point attempts.
Fans react to Stephen Curry’s injury
Even though Curry missed some of the third quarter and the entire fourth, Andrew Wiggins played really well, but it wasn’t enough for the Warriors to win. This loss puts the Warriors at a 2-1 record, and fans are worried about Curry’s injury and what this means for the team.
Fans took to social media to share their worries and frustration. @babyfacedubs shared an angry GIF with the caption, “STEPH INJURED HIS ANKLE AGAIN MAN FUCK THIS IM OUT 💔💔💔.”
@courtsideheat tweeted, “The pain was written on Stephen Curry’s face before being forced to go into the locker room. He tried to test his ankle into the game, but it gave out badly. Steph is questionable to return to the game.”
@UTDHaMzA21 expressed disbelief, writing, “Losing Steph Curry with ankle injury in the third game of the season absolute joke.”
