Stephen Curry appeared to sprain his heavily-braced right ankle heading into the first timeout of the first quarter in the Warriors' Game 5 against the Mavericks.

Stephen Curry Injury Update

Curry suffered an acute right inversion sprain while executing a switch onto Luka Doncic with 8:92 left in the opening quarter.

While he limped for a step and grimaced as he left the floor, Curry stayed in the game after stretching and testing out his ankle during the timeout.

Curry suffers from chronic laxity, or loose and unsteady ligaments, in his right ankle because of a stretch of sprains during the first few years of his career, according to the ProBasketballDocs.

Because of this, Curry will suffer an undue number of ankle sprains, but those sprains will rarely create new damage significant enough to cause missed time or even hamper his play. 

He underwent two surgeries to repair his right ankle ligaments, slowing his burgeoning career and playing a major part in the $44 million discount deal that Curry played on through his 2015-16 unanimous MVP season. 

This specific sprain was mild and he will be able to play through it with no ill-effects, as he is currently.

Curry is averaging 26 points, 7.5 rebounds, and seven assists on 47.9% shooting and a robust 47.1% from beyond the arc in this series.
