Klay Thompson will be sidelined the next 7-10 days due to a right ankle sprain, Steve Kerr announced on Tuesday afternoon.
The Warriors' All-Star shooting guard rolled his ankle when driving to the basket with 5:20 remaining in the third quarter of the Warriors' 108-105 win over the Lakers on Monday night.
He exited the game a few minutes later, went to the locker room to have his ankle re-taped, and re-entered with 8:40 remaining in the fourth quarter.
Thompson played the rest of the game, and drilled a 3-pointer that gave the Warriors a 98-95 lead with 4:31 to go.
He finished with a game-high 26 points.
The Western Conference leading Warriors (53-13) host the Eastern Conference leading Hawks (53-14) on Wednesday night.

The Warriors close out their six-game homestand on Monday against John Wall and the Wizards.
If Thompson doesn't return for Golden State's game at Portland next Tuesday night, a 7-10 timeframe could mean he comes back for the Warriors' game at Memphis on Friday, March 27.
The Grizzlies trail the Warriors by 6.5 games (seven in the loss column) for the top spot in the West.
