While the players were battling for the loose ball, Marcus Smart dove and got caught in Stephen’s legs. This resulted in him going straight to the locker room. The second quarter ended with Curry exiting the court with 4:09 left.

A few hours later, Curry went for an MRI, which revealed that he had sprained the left foot ligament. In their subsequent match against the Warriors versus San Antonio Spurs, they lost again. Sunday night’s final score was 110-108 at the Chase Center.
