Warriors guard Stephen Curry left Saturday night’s game against the Mavericks in the third quarter with a leg injury and did not return. Even without Curry to end the game, Golden State defeated Dallas, 119-113, to get within a half game of Dallas for the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference.
The point guard was defending Dallas guard McKinley Wright IV when their knees collided on a Wright drive to the basket.
X-rays on Curry’s left leg came back negative, and he was set to get an MRI after the game. Warriors coach Steve Kerr was cautiously optimistic when discussing the injury with reporters after the game.
