The severity of Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry's knee injury will be determined by the results of his MRI on Monday. However, there have been indications from credible injury sources that the injury Curry sustained in his fall on a slick spot Sunday in Game 4 vs. the Houston Rockets involves the MCL.
USA Today spoke with "a person of knowledge," either close to Curry or the Warriors, and confirmed that the "fear" is a sprained MCL.
According to a person with knowledge of Curry’s situation, the early fear is that Curry suffered a sprain in his medial collateral ligament during his second-quarter slip. The person spoke to USA TODAY Sports on the condition of anonymity because an official diagnosis has not yet been made.
The Warriors won’t know for sure until Monday, when Curry is scheduled to undergo an MRI. But if those fears are realized, it could be quite some time before he is playing again.

If Curry suffered a Grade I MCL sprain, he could miss anywhere from 5 to 15 days, which would put him somewhere in the middle-to-end of a potential second-round series vs. the Clippers or Blazers. A Grade II sprain would be 4-6 weeks, which could ver well put an end to Golden State's championship hopes.
