Steph Curry suffers foot injury and Steve Kerr isn’t happy about the reason why a collision with Marcus Smart – Yahoo Sports

Steph Curry missed the second half of Golden State's defeat against Boston after suffering a left foot injury in a collision with the Celtics' Marcus Smart.

Curry underwent an MRI exam after hobbling off the court and the results weren't announced Thursday evening. The Warriors' Draymond Green told reporters postgame that he didn't expect Curry to be in the lineup Sunday against the San Antonio Spurs.

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr took issue with Smart over the play, where in a scramble for a loose ball, Smart rolled on Curry's leg.

Kerr had a discussion with Smart on the court, expressing his displeasure over the play. After the 110-88 home loss, Kerr said, via ESPN, "I thought it was a dangerous play. I thought Marcus dove into Steph, and that's what I was upset about. A lot of respect for Marcus. He's a hell of a player, a gamer, a competitor. I coached him in the World Cup a few summers ago. We talked after the game and we're good. But I thought it was a dangerous play."

Green saw it differently.

"I'd expect Marcus Smart to make that play," Green said. "He plays hard. I can't call that a dirty play."

Smart didn't sound like the discussion he had with Kerr was going to elevate into a big issue. "He's doing what any coach, any player, any person would do, and that's backing up his guy," Smart told MassLiveNews. ... At the end of the conversation, he told me, 'You're one of the guys I want on my team.'"

Now the Warriors (47-23) await the test results of Curry's sore foot.
