Could Steph Curry’s latest injury cost the Golden State Warriors in the long run? Anthony Slater certainly things it’s a possibility.

The Athletic’s Anthony Slater joined Stiles & Watkins Friday to talk about the latest surrounding Curry’s ankle injury suffered Thursday night. They also discuss how the Warriors turned their season around, and what the Western Conference looks like at the moment. Plus, are the Sacramento Kings destined to face Golden State in the postseason?

All that and more on Sactown Sports.

“They’re looking at it today. I mean, it’s likely he’ll miss time at this point,” Anthony Slater said Friday about the Curry injury. “I don’t think it’s going to be anything crazy long. But yeah, sprained his ankle and you know he has history with [ankle injuries], but they’ve held up well the last several years. They can’t afford him missing too much time though, considering the standings crunch.”
