The extent of Stephen Curry's sprained right knee won't be known until the reigning NBA MVP undergoes an MRI on Monday, but if the reactions from Curry and head coach Steve Kerr are indicative of anything, it doesn't sound good.

According to teammate Draymond Green, Curry was crying in the team huddle when he realized he wouldn't be able to return to Game 4.

"I actually told the guys in the locker room before that, like, he's done. It just didn't look well," Green told ESPN radio.

"I just feel so bad for him," Kerr said, before adding "we have to move on."

Curry, who returned for Game 4 after sitting out Games 2 and 3 with an ankle injury sustained in Game 1, twisted and banged his knee after slipping on a wet spot just before halftime of Sunday's game. He hobbled off the court, but warmed up with the Warriors before the start of the second half, and was in the huddle before heading back to the locker room and calling it a day.

Curry was visibly shaken while leaving the court for the final time.

The Warriors took a commanding 3-1 series lead with a 121-94 Game 4 victory. The fifth and potentially deciding game is set for Wednesday night at Oracle Arena.
