Stephen Curry turned his right ankle and did not return in the closing minutes of the Golden State Warriors' 125-115 win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday night.

The two-time MVP was able to walk off the court under his own power, however when he exited the locker room after the game, he was on crutches.

X-rays were negative, but it's unclear if he will miss any time. He's scheduled for an MRI tomorrow.

"It's not good," Klay Thompson said after the game. "Hopefully he'll be alright in time. There's no need to rush him back, but it's definitely not good. He hasn't had (ankle issues) in years, he'll be back and he'll be stronger than ever. I just want him to take his time and feel 100 percent."

Curry scored 31 points, pulled down five rebounds and had 10 assists in 34 minutes, helping the Warriors overcome a 20-point halftime deficit.
