NBA Finals Notebook: Steph Curry’s injury update gives Warriors hope

June 10, 2022 World Sports

For Steph Curry, there is comfort in this discomfort.

Curry, the Golden State Warriors’ most potent scorer and two-time Kia MVP, suffered a left foot injury in the fourth quarter of Game 3 Wednesday at TD Garden that ended his night early and raised questions about his availability for Game 4 of the 2022 NBA Finals Friday (9 ET, ABC).

Curry answered the main question Thursday – “I’m going to play. That’s all I know right now” – and at least gave some context on the injury that he and the Warriors’ medical staff feel is similar to, but less severe than, the one he dealt with in March.

Back then, coincidentally also against Boston, the Golden State star left the game in the second quarter, underwent an MRI exam that revealed a sprained ligament and missed the final 12 games of the regular season.

Curry said this one isn’t as bad. He spoke with reporters after a long night’s sleep and a “couple of dunks in the ice bucket,” and said he was counting on the time until Friday’s tipoff for more treatment and improvement.
