Mon Jan 20 21:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Curry’s Ankle Injury Clouds Warriors’ Win Over Wizards
**SAN FRANCISCO –** Stephen Curry’s 26-point performance was cut short Saturday night as the Golden State Warriors edged out the Washington Wizards 122-114, but a left ankle injury sustained in the final minutes casts a shadow over the victory. Curry tangled with former teammate Jordan Poole, resulting in a brief moment on the court before exiting the game. While initial reports suggest Curry doesn’t believe the injury to be serious, the incident raises concerns for the Warriors.
Andrew Wiggins led the scoring for Golden State with 31 points and 11 rebounds. Poole, playing his second game against his former team at Chase Center, delivered a stellar performance with 38 points for the Wizards, hitting his 900th career three-pointer in the process, a milestone reached first among the 2019 draft class. However, his strong showing couldn’t prevent Washington from extending their losing streak to nine games.
The Warriors’ victory wasn’t without other injury concerns. Draymond Green, returning after a three-game absence due to illness, left the game early with left calf tightness and will undergo an MRI on Sunday.
Golden State, now back above .500, struggled against the league’s worst team until a decisive 11-2 run in the fourth quarter, fueled by two three-pointers from Curry, secured their win. The Warriors will host the Boston Celtics on Monday, while the Wizards face the Sacramento Kings on Sunday.
