There was some speculation that Curry did get hurt on the play after head coach Steve Kerr removed him from the game with just over two minutes to play. Boston ratcheted up the defense in the fourth, though, limiting Golden State to just 11 points. Following Wednesday night’s 116-100 loss in Game 3 of the NBA Finals, the Warriors are reportedly optimistic that star point guard Stephen Curry will be available for Game 4.
Golden State's star guard suffered a leg injury late in the Warriors' Game 3 loss in the Finals.
But he finished with just two points and four rebounds on Wednesday. “He told me it wasn’t the same thing.” Golden State trailed by as many as 18 points in the first half, but it was a 12-point Boston lead with about four minutes left when Jayson Tatum missed a jumper from the foul line. “We will know more” Thursday. I just asked, ‘Is that not the same thing?’” Green said. Warriors coach Steve Kerr said he also expects Curry to play as Golden State looks to even up the best-of-seven series, 2-2. Curry finished with a game-high 31 points. Ker said the Warriors will not practice today, and will use today more as a recovery day instead. I’m going to get him off his legs, though.” The Warriors’ last chance at a comeback victory in Game 3 ended with 3 1/2 minutes left on Wednesday night during a scramble that, like the game, went Boston’s way. “Take advantage of these next 48 hours to get ready.” I don’t feel like I’ll miss a game, though,” Curry said.
Stephen Curry missed a month with a left foot sprain earlier this season, but the Warriors star insisted that he won't miss time in the NBA Finals.
“It’s the same foot and all that,” Curry said. Boston holds a 2-1 series lead, and Curry’s injury comes at an inopportune time of the series, as there is only one off day in between Game 3 and Game 4. “[Curry] was involved in the pile up,” Kerr said. Curry stayed on the court and appeared to be in some pain, but told reporters during his postgame comments Wednesday that he would be “all right.” He later departed TD Garden with a slight limp. Golden State didn’t go through a typical practice on Thursday, with Kerr noting that his “high-minute” players would solely be undergoing “treatment and recovery.” Boston outrebounded Golden State 47-31 in Game 3, claiming 15 offensive rebounds, and tallied 22 second-chance points.

However, while the initial injury looked rather troublesome, as of Thursday morning there's optimism within the Warriors camp that Curry evaded a major injury and he won't need an MRI, according to The Athletic. However, the quick turnaround from Games 3 and 4, with only 48 hours between them, will test Curry's pain tolerance. "I'll be all right," Curry said after Game 3. After the game, the two-time league MVP said it felt like a mild foot sprain. The Celtics will surely do that again, and if Curry's dealing with any sort of pain in that left foot, it could be problematic for Golden State.

Boston Celtics' Al Horford, 42, falls on Golden State Warriors' Stephen Curry's, 30, left leg during the fourth quarter of the NBA Finals at TD Garden in Boston ...
The Warriors need Poole to be brash and fearless, as he was late in the season and in the playoffs’ first three rounds. Thompson remains hopeful, saying the Warriors have a “beautiful opportunity” to even the series in Game 4. Kuminga brings youth, size and athleticism — exactly what the Celtics have in spades. He demurred on whether Horford’s play was “reckless”; television replays suggested it was accidental, not as risky as the Smart play in March. He scored 10 points in 24-plus minutes off the bench. So what does it mean for the Warriors if Curry can’t play Friday night, or is severely limited? “I’m obviously in some pain, but I’ll be all right,” Curry said. But then there was Curry in the fourth quarter Wednesday night, hitting the parquet floor amid a wild scramble for the ball. The Golden State Warriors are not as young, not as big, not as athletic. … Hopefully, it responds well in the next few days.” He returned to action exactly one month later, for the playoff opener April 16 against Denver. “Take advantage of the next 48 hours and get ready.
It appears that Steph Curry, who suffered an injury to his left foot late in the Warriors' loss on Wednesday to the Boston Celtics in Game 3 of the NBA ...
Curry has been spectacular so far in these Finals, but he and the Warriors find themselves trailing the best-of-seven series two games to one. "I'll be all right," Curry said to reporters Wednesday after the game. "I think I caught it underneath [Al Horford]. Obviously in decent pain, but I'll be all right.
Warriors star Steph Curry gives an update on his ankle injury suffered in Game 3 of the 2022 NBA Finals against the Celtics.
"That's what it felt like, and we'll see how it responds," Curry said. Curry said it was similar to what happened against the Celtics in March when Marcus Smart dove for a loose ball and made contact with the Warriors star's foot. I got caught -- obviously in some pain, but I'll be all right," Curry said after the Warriors' 116-100 loss, which put them in a 2-1 series hole.
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry says he's "going to play" in Game 4 Friday night against the Boston Celtics despite an unspecified injury.
"We would not be the Warriors without Draymond. He is one of the best players I've ever played with. I know how to be him better than anyone else can be him. "... We are a much better team when I'm aggressive offensively, so I have to be that for this team. "I know how to be him better than anyone else. "I'm going to play," he said definitely. "So once I got checked out last night, I knew I wouldn't have to go get any extra tests just because we've been through this before."
Curry likened his left foot injury to the one he suffered in March, but said it's not as bad this time.
That foot strain sidelined him for the final 12 games of the regular season, but the two-time MVP said it’s “not as bad” this time around and he’s hopeful the injury responds well to treatment over the next couple days. Take advantage of these next 48 hours to get ready.” It’s fair basketball. I am really hoping he’s OK because he’s our identity, and without him, it will be very difficult.” 7:36am: The Warriors fell behind 2-1 in the NBA Finals after losing to the Celtics in Game 3 on Wednesday, but they may have a more significant concern going forward than that one-game deficit. Not much other to say.
Curry says he'll be good to go on Friday night in Game 4.
"I'll be all right," Curry said after Game 3. However, the quick turnaround from Games 3 and 4, with only 48 hours between them, will test Curry's pain tolerance. After the game, the two-time league MVP said it felt like a mild foot sprain. However, while the initial injury looked rather troublesome, Curry said during Thursday's media availability that he's playing in Game 4 on Friday. When asked how confident he was that he could play Friday without being limited, Curry said "I'm going to play, that's all I know right now."

BOSTON — Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry told reporters Thursday that he expects to play in Game 4 of the NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics on ...
Curry said this injury isn’t as severe as the one that caused him to miss the final 12 games of the regular season, and it is not a re-aggravation of any kind. “You have to deal with being uncomfortable until the mission is complete.” Boston has not lost three of four since late December losses to the Bucks, Timberwolves and Clippers. “This one just wasn’t as bad as that one,” Curry said. Kerr said Thursday that he did not have updates on Curry’s foot injury, but he expects him to play in Game 4. Curry’s availability appeared uncertain after Boston’s Al Horford landed on his leg as players scrambled for a loose ball late in the fourth quarter of Game 3, leaving Curry hobbled and shouting in pain.
