I will be all right: Steph Curry after suffering an injury in Game 3 of NBA Finals

Golden State Warriors lost the third game of the NBA Finals against Boston Celtics by 116-110 at the TD Garden on Wednesday night. The Celtics have now taken a crucial 2-1 lead in the series. However, the Dubs will now sweat over the fitness of their star player, Steph Curry, who picked up an injury in the last few minutes of the game.

With 4:16 left on the clock, Curry wrestled with Celtics’ Al Horford for a loose ball. Both of them struggled to get hold of the ball and Horford rolled over Curry’s leg-leg, leaving the talisman writhing in pain on the floor.

However, Steph Curry is optimistic about recovering in time for the pivotal fourth game of the series.

“Obviously, in some pain, but I’ll be all right,” Curry said. “We’ll see how it responds. Not much other to say. I don’t feel like I’ll miss a game. Take advantage of these next 48 hours to get ready.”

Curry didn’t comment on whether Horford could have avoided that type of play as he didn’t see the reply.

“[Horford is] a big body, obviously,” Curry said. “I haven’t seen the play, so I don’t know if it could have been avoided or not. I was in that situation with Marcus back in the Bay, and you just want to get your foot out of there. That’s all I was trying to do at that point, knowing the position I was in. Like I said, for what I feel like, it’s not as bad. So hopefully, it responds well over the next two days.”

The team’s coach Steve Kerr revealed they will know the extent of the injury by tomorrow.

“We’ll know more tomorrow,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said.

“I saw him getting dove on,” Warriors forward Draymond Green said. “So I picked up my foul pushing people off him because he’s screaming at the bottom of the pile.”

Curry top-scored with 31 points but his efforts went in vain. If Curry is ruled out of the fourth game of the series, it will be a huge blow for the Dubs. The fourth game will be played on Friday night.
