Curry suffered shoulder injury, will reportedly miss at least 2 weeks
An MRI confirmed Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry suffered a left shoulder subluxation in Wednesday's 125-119 defeat to the Indiana Pacers, the team announced Thursday.
Although the Warriors didn't provide a timeline for the injury, sources told The Athletic's Shams Charania that Curry will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
He appeared to suffer the ailment while trying to steal the ball from Pacers big man Jalen Smith on a drive to the basket in the third quarter.
