Golden State Warriors Star Stephen Curry Out Indefinitely: Report

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Golden State Warriors star guard Stephen Curry reportedly suffered a sprained ligament in his left foot and will be out indefinitely, according to a report.

Shams Charania of The Athletic reported on Thursday, citing sources, that X-rays on Curry's foot were negative Wednesday night and there was no fracture or major damage.

The news comes after Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart on Wednesday night dove for a loose ball with minutes to go in the fourth quarter. As he fell, he hit Curry’s leg, sparking discussion about whether it was a dirty play. Curry did not return to the game.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr called Smart's play "dangerous" and let the Celtics star know it after the game, leading to a shouting exchange.

“I thought it was a dangerous play,” Kerr said. “I thought Marcus dove into Steph’s knee and that’s what I was upset about. I have a lot of respect for Marcus. He’s a hell of a player, gamer, competitor. I coached him in the World Cup a few summers ago… We talked after the game and we’re good, but I thought it was a dangerous play. I just let him know.”

Smart said he didn't see Curry.

“I didn’t see [Curry]. I saw the ball, I dove for the ball, trying to make a play,” Smart said. “Unfortunately that occurred.”

Warriors power forward Draymond Green after the game agreed with Smart that the play was clean.

"I'd expect Marcus Smart to make that play," Green told reporters. "He plays hard. I can't call that a dirty play. As unfortunate as it is... if it was a dirty play I would've dove into his head. I had a pretty great look on the play."
