Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry stood out as one of the top performers on Tuesday night against the Orlando Magic, posting impressive statistics. However, his ankle injury during the matchup has fueled speculation about his potential absence from tonight’s game against the Miami Heat in South Florida.

Stephen Curry indicated Tuesday night that he would wait a few hours before confirming his status for the Golden State Warriors’ game against the Miami Heat. ā€œI will see how it responds after the flight and some sleep, but it’s looking very iffy,ā€ Curry informed the media following the 121-111 defeat to the Magic.

But it turns out that Curry will ultimately not suit up tonight. The NBA injury report for November 19 shows that Curry has been listed as out for the Warriors’ game in Miami with Injury/Illness – Right Ankle; Soreness.
