Steph Curry injured on "dangerous" play: out indefinitely
Curry underwent an MRI immediately after the Warriors game vs the Celtics. He left in the second quarter with pain in his foot, and was later ruled out.
The Golden State Warriors' 110-88 loss to the Boston Celtics on Wednesday was made a little more painful with the loss of star Stephen Curry.
Dirty play by Marcus Smart?
Curry left early in the second quarter with pain in his foot after Celtics player Marcus Smart rolled on his leg while they were wrestling for the ball. Warriors coach Steve Kerr was seen yelling at Smart when the play was over.
"I thought it was a dangerous play. I thought Marcus drove into Steph, and that's what I was upset about," said Kerr.
Smart insisted he was only making the play he was taught to make, but had no malicious intent. Warriors player Draymond Green agreed that the play was not "dirty".
"I can't call that a dirty play," said Green. "As unfortunate as it is, maybe unnecessary, but that's the most I can call it. Unnecessary."
Curry out indefinitely after MRI results
Curry tried to run off the injury, hoping to return to the game, but was limping. After he was examined, it was decided that Curry would not return to play in the second half. After the game, he immediately underwent an MRI.
The results of the MRI came back showing a sprained ligament in Curry's left foot, but no fractures or serious damage. He will still, however, be out indefinitely from the game.
This comes just two days after Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green were finally able to play together again, as Green was out for two months with back and calf injuries. Before that, Thompson had missed two and a half seasons with an ACL and Achilles injury.
"Adversity hits everybody at any time," said Kerr. "You just roll with it and keep moving forward. So hopefully Steph will be okay."
