Stephen Curry is expected to miss the start of the Golden State Warriors' six-game road trip due to a confirmed pelvic contusion, with no structural damage found, after injuring himself during a game against the Toronto Raptors.
Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry underwent an MRI on his pelvic area, which confirmed a contusion but showed no structural damage, according to Shams Charania of ESPN.
As a result, Curry is expected to miss the start of the Warriors' six-game road trip, beginning Saturday in Atlanta, as he receives treatment over the next few days.
Curry sustained the injury during Thursday night's 117-114 victory over the Toronto Raptors.
He got hurt while driving for a layup late in the third quarter, landing hard on his tailbone. After crashing to the floor, he remained down for several moments before being helped to his feet and taken to the locker room.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr noted that Curry tried to convince him to let him return to the game, but the decision was made to keep him out for precautionary reasons.
"He thought he might be able to come back," Kerr said. "We just decided not to risk anything. Hopefully, it's not bad."
This season, the 37-year-old Curry is averaging 24.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 6.0 assists per game, shooting 44.7% from the field and 39.4% from three-point range.
