Curry got hurt in the second quarter of Golden State's eventual
110-88 defeat in San Francisco, and he was ruled out for the
second half of the contest after a halftime examination.
The injury occurred with just over four minutes remaining in the
second quarter when Curry, struggling to keep possession of the
ball near midcourt, had Boston's Marcus Smart land on the back
of his left leg while diving for possession.
Curry had his foot twist awkwardly in the incident, and shortly
thereafter had to be removed from the game. He headed straight
to the locker room, walking under his own power.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr said postgame, "I thought it was a
dangerous play. I thought Marcus dove into Steph, and that's
what I was upset about. A lot of respect for Marcus. He's a hell
of a player, a gamer, a competitor. I coached him in the World
Cup a few summers ago. We talked after the game and we're good.
But I thought it was a dangerous play."
As for Curry's status moving forward, Kerr said, "We'll know
after the MRI."
The Warriors were losing 33-25 at the time of the incident.
Curry was limited to three points, a 3-pointer, in 14 minutes.
Golden State trailed 48-32 at halftime, its lowest scoring
output in any half this season.
