Curry injured his foot while going for the ball and left the game. There is a time and a place.
Stephen Curry is expected to return for the start of the Western Conference playoffs, but will undergo further evaluation with specialists, according to sources.
Curry and the Warriors are talking to a renowned foot specialist about the injury.
Curry was injured in a collision with Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart on Wednesday night and an overnight exam revealed a foot injury. Curry is believed to have avoided serious injury because there is no structural damage.
Smart rolled on Curry's leg when Curry dove for a loose ball in the second quarter. Curry left the game after being checked out on the bench. He was ruled out for the rest of the night after halftime.
Neither Warriors coach Steve Kerr or forward Draymond Green called the play on which Curry was injured dirty but deemed it unnecessary.
Smart said after the game that he dove for the ball to make a play.
Green returned from a back injury that kept him out two-and-a-half months. Curry, Green and Klay Thompson, who returned from a two-and-a-half-month hiatus in January, have played just 11 minutes together this season.
It seems like every time we get someone back, someone else goes down.
