Steve Kerr revealed that wearing braces might have adverse effects, as it was discovered that Steph Curry’s ankle braces are also troubling him 

Steve Kerr anticipated his point guard would miss at least one game when he saw Steph Curry shuffling around in Boston on Sunday morning after hurting his ankle against the Celtics on Saturday night despite wearing ankle braces.

Curry has a long history of ankle problems, and the Warriors couldn’t take the chance that their best player, who is averaging 39.9 points on 55.6 percent shooting (49.2 percent from three) in nine games this month, might aggravate an injury and lose even more time.

It turns out that Curry’s history of ankle issues is the reason he will be ready on Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers.

What did Steve Kerr have to say about Steph Curry and his ankle braces? 

Steve Kerr stated 90 minutes before tipoff, “He explained to me that this has happened in the past. He wears his ankle braces and what happens is if he rolls his ankle like he did the other night, the brace protects his ankle, but then the brace, as it’s protecting, kind of jams into his leg…So, when you saw him limping the other night at the end of the game, it wasn’t his ankle. It was that spot on his leg where the brace jams in.” 

Curry informed Kerr that this had previously occurred to him. Curry’s participation in the game against the 76ers and the fact that his ankle no longer hurts allow the Warriors to exhale with ease.

Steph Curry was hobbling because of the way his ankle braces impacted his leg, and Kerr noted that the discomfort rapidly goes away. Curry’s recovery is as swift as it is because the Warriors are not worried about him suffering another injury, and Curry is also “feeling extremely good today.”
