Warriors point guard Stephen Curry has a sprained deltoid ligament in his right foot, according to results from an MRI exam.

“I’m hopeful I can play Tuesday,” Curry said Sunday. “It feels better. Rehab is going well. Just have to see how it responds the next couple of days. I’m confident I won’t miss much time, if any.”

Curry sustained the injury Wednesday against Phoenix while attempting a layup.

Saturday, instead of defending his title in the Skills Challenge during the All-Star celebration, Curry was getting an MRI exam in Charlotte, N.C. The results revealed he had injured his deltoid ligament, a thick band that runs on the inward side of the ankle.

Warriors guard Monta Ellis sprained his left one in August 2008 during his infamous moped ride.

Curry said his MRI exam also revealed tendon sheath inflammation (swelling of the membrane around the tendon). The likely swollen tendon in this case is the posterior tibial, which attaches the calf and the foot and is in the same area of the deltoid.

“I tried to make a cut, but it didn’t respond the way I thought it would,” Curry said after the game Wednesday. “Coach (Mark Jackson) made the decision in the second half just to let it rest.”

Curry will join the team in Indiana for practice Monday. Golden State plays at Indiana on Tuesday and at Atlanta on Wednesday.
