All the details of Stephen Curry's worrying injury that has set off alarm bells at Golden State Warriors

In the Golden State Warriors' latest NBA loss to the Chicago Bulls on Thursday, the Bay Area franchise also suffered a troubling injury to Stephen Curry after the team's star player sprained his ankle.

Curry had to leave the court immediately, setting off alarm bells for a Warriors team that faces the final stretch of the regular season in a delicate position in the Western Conference.

All of Stephen Curry's teammates are already preparing for a considerable period of time without their star player. One of them, Klay Thompson, was among those who spoke out on the matter: "I know we're going to miss him if he needs time off. We've been in this position before, and we just have to do it collectively. I know he'll be ready when he comes back, whenever that is. We wish him a speedy recovery."

Prior to this injury, Curry had missed just three Golden State Warriors games all season: two due to knee discomfort, and one due to rest. Draymond Green, another GSW mainstay, added: "It sucks, but everybody has to deal with it sooner or later."

Stephen Curry will most likely miss at least a week or two, and it will have to be Chris Paul who will have to assume the role of starting point guard for a franchise that right now can't afford to accumulate many losses.

The Warriors, after losing to the Bulls, remain in 9th place in the Western Conference with a 33-29 record, in playoff positions. However, the Los Angeles Lakers are right on their heels, 10th with 34-30. Being 10th is a very disadvantageous position for the playoffs, since you face your first game as a visitor, and if you manage to win it, you will also have to be a visitor in the duel with the loser of the 7th vs. 8th.
