“When I heard it was a quad, I was actually relieved. Better than an ankle or a knee,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr told reporters after the game, per ESPN’s Anthony Slater.
The four-time champion guard appeared to suffer the injury in a collision with Amen Thompson, who drove his shoulder into Curry’s chest while Thompson was driving toward the basket.
Curry had 14 points, six rebounds and five assists for the Warriors in 33 minutes. He kept playing after the collision with Thompson but was in clear discomfort and he left the bench and headed back to the locker room with 35 seconds left to play.
