Warriors forward Jordan Bell injures ankle vs. Nets
Golden State Warriors forward Jordan Bell sustained a sprained right ankle in Tuesday’s 114-101 home victory over the Brooklyn Nets and did not return.
The rookie received X-rays to determine the extent of his injury, which came in the final seconds of the third quarter after he jumped to try and get a defensive rebound. Bell limped off the court. The X-rays were negative, and the injury was assessed as a “mild sprain.”
Bell previously injured his ankle this season and was carried off the court in a wheelchair. He’s also recently been dealing with a back injury. The rookie came to Golden State when the Chicago Bulls traded his draft rights for cash considerations. He has averaged 4.9 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1 block per game as a versatile forward. Bell, 23, was sidelined for 14 games due to his previous injuries.

The defending NBA champion Warriors (50-14), however, will likely be fine without Bell. Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green continue to lead the offense. Meanwhile, Andre Iguodala, Kevon Looney and Omri Casspi will likely see more time in the forward rotation.
