As the Boston Celtics stormed away with a victory in Game 3 of the NBA Finals behind a red-hot fourth-quarter run, things seemed to get worse for the Golden State Warriors.
With four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, Steph Curry scrambled for a loose basketball with Boston’s Al Horford. While wrestling for the ball, Curry appeared to suffer a potential injury when Horford landed on his left foot.

To have a chance of evening the series in Game 4, the Warriors desperately need Curry on the floor. Through three games of the NBA Finals, Curry is averaging 31.3 points on 48.5% shooting from the floor and 48.6% from long distance.
Game 4 of the NBA Finals is set for Friday at 6 p.m. PT at Boston’s TD Garden.
