According to WebMD, the peroneal tendons “stabilize the foot and protect against sprains.”

Curry first suffered the injury late in the third quarter and returned to the game less than four minutes into the fourth quarter. But his condition worsened during the first game and he limped to the Warriors' locker room.

The 36-year-old has a long history of ankle injuries, so the Warriors will likely proceed with caution, especially heading into the 2024-25 NBA season.

Losing Curry, even for just two games, will be a heavy burden on the rest of the Warriors roster, which will be without forward De'Anthony Melton and may be without winger Andrew Wiggins.

Melton is out for the two games against the Pelicans due to a lower back strain. He will be re-evaluated on Friday.

Wiggins, the Warriors' leading scorer (19.7 points) in three games, is questionable because of a lower back strain.
