SAN FRANCISCO — In a challenging game against the Los Angeles Clippers, the Golden State Warriors faced a setback as their star player, Stephen Curry, suffered an injury to his left ankle late in the third quarter. After attempting to continue playing, Curry decided to sit down again and subsequently left the court.

He made a brief return to the game with just over eight minutes remaining in the fourth quarter but was unable to stay in and ultimately exited for the night. Despite the injury, Curry managed to contribute 18 points, along with six assists and four rebounds during the match, demonstrating his prowess by shooting 6 of 11 from the field, including hitting four three-pointers.

At 36 years old, this season marks the beginning of Curry’s 16th year in the NBA, where he has consistently been a key player for the Warriors. His ability to perform at a high level continues to be significant for the team as they navigate the challenges of the current season.
