SAN FRANCISCO — Stephen Curry will miss at least the next two games for the Golden State Warriors nursing an injured ankle that he hurt in a loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday night.
Curry had an MRI exam after the game and it showed no structural damage and revealed a left peroneal strain. The team said he would be reevaluated Friday.

Warriors Face Pelicans Without Curry
Golden State plays consecutive home games Tuesday and Wednesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Their next game after Curry is examined again is Saturday at Houston.
Curry exited for good with 7:55 remaining in the fourth quarter of a 112-104 defeat.
Curry had briefly returned to the game with 8:08 to play and was along the key being defended by Kris Dunn when he cut away from Dunn toward the baseline and reinjured the ankle when it appeared to roll outward. It happened near the end of Golden State’s bench and he limped into the tunnel that goes to the locker room.
Curry’s Initial Injury and Performance
It was at the 2:43 mark of the third quarter when Curry initially hobbled to the bench and sat the remainder of the period.
The two-time MVP and NBA all-time 3-point leader finished with 18 points, six assists and four rebounds, shooting 6 for 11 with four 3-pointers.
The 36-year-old Curry is beginning his 16th NBA season and has dealt with regular ankle issues on both feet.
Melton Also Sidelined With Back Strain
Also Monday, the Warriors said guard De’Anthony Melton underwent an MRI on his strained lower back after Sunday’s game and he doesn’t have any structural damage. He also will be reevaluated on Friday.
