Warriors star shooting guard Steph Curry is out indefinitely with a left foot sprain, as first reported by Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Curry is expected to undergo further evaluation, but there is optimism he will be able to return before the start of the playoffs in mid-April, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported.
Curry suffered the injury after colliding with opposing guard Marcus Smart during the Warriors’ loss to the Celtics on Wednesday night. Curry was unable to return to the game after halftime, suffering the injury in the second quarter.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr called the play “dangerous” and “unnecessary.”
“I thought Marcus dove into Steph, and that’s what I was upset about,” Kerr told reporters after the game. “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.”
We’ll have more on Curry and the Warriors as the news becomes available.
