Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry isn't too concerned after appearing to injure his left foot in a collision with Al Horford in the late stages of Wednesday's 116-100 Game 3 loss to the Boston Celtics.
"I'll be alright," Curry told reporters postgame, according to ESPN's Malika Andrews. "I don't feel like I'll miss a game, though."
With just over four minutes remaining, Horford landed on Curry's left leg as the two fought for a loose ball. The incident left the two-time MVP wincing in pain.
Curry remained in the contest for the next minute of play before subbing out for good.
While the eight-time All-Star was optimistic about his status for Game 4, he compared the injury to the foot sprain he sustained against the Celtics during the regular season but "not as bad," according to The Athletic's Anthony Slater.
Curry missed exactly one month of action before returning for Game 1 of the opening round. He was injured similarly when Boston guard Marcus Smart rolled onto his ankle in a battle for a loose ball.
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr criticized Smart at the time, characterizing his actions as "a dangerous play."
Curry had another spectacular performance in Game 3, posting 31 points, four boards, two assists, and two steals in 37 minutes.
Game 4 is Friday at 9 p.m. ET.
