Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry is set to undergo further tests after injuring his left shoulder during his team’s 125-119 loss at the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night.
Curry sustained his injury during the third quarter when attempting to strip Indiana’s Jalen Smith of the ball. Following this injury, Curry was unable to continue the game and had to depart with 2:04 left in the quarter.
“I checked in with [Curry] briefly but haven’t had a chance to go into detail,” coach Steve Kerr stated after Curry’s departure. “Steph is always a guy with a great outlook on life, so he’s in good spirits.”
Kerr went on to praise Curry for the effort he put into his offensive game in an effort to give the Warriors a fighting chance. He amassed 38 points; almost half of the Warriors’ 80 points before his injury. It was ultimately this effort that led to his shoulder strain.
In order to accurately diagnose the issue and its severity, Curry will undergo an MRI scan on Thursday.
