While ankle injuries and Stephen Curry in the same sentence are liable to freak out fans who remember his struggles with those early in his career, a Tuesday MRI reportedly found no structural damage. Curry was seen with crutches and a walking boot following Golden State's Monday night win over New Orleans, but X-rays were negative:

Injury update: Stephen Curry underwent an MRI today in Charlotte, the results of which confirmed that he suffered a sprained right ankle in last night’s game at New Orleans. The MRI indicated that the ankle is stable and structurally intact. He will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

According to The Mercury News, this is the 14th time that Curry has tweaked one of his ankles since entering the NBA in 2009 (but also, silver lining, the first in almost a year-and-a-half). Anyway, sounds like he'll be ready in time for the Warriors' Christmas Day matchup against the Cavs.
