What happened to Steph Curry? Latest injury update for Warriors superstar after exit vs Raptors (Mar. 20) 

Steph Curry suffered a brutal injury in Thursday's game between the Golden State Warriors and Toronto Raptors. Curry fell hard on the floor in the third quarter after driving to the lane to kick out a pass to an open shooter in the corner.

Curry was seen in excruciating pain as soon as he went down. The Warriors announced that the two-time MVP exited the game with a pelvic contusion injury. Curry had 17 points and two rebounds on 6-for-8 shots in 25 minutes. The Warriors trailed 88-83 when Curry left the floor.

The Golden State Warriors squeezed out a 117-114 comeback win as Draymond Green, Jimmy Butler, Quentin Post and Jonathan Kuminga scored in double digits. Green tallied 21 points, knocking down five 3s. Meanwhile, Butler had a 16-point triple-double, with 11 rebounds and 12 assists, offsetting his 26.7% shooting night.

Steph Curry injury update: Steve Kerr provides latest on Warriors star's brutal blow

Steve Kerr gave the latest surrounding Steph Curry's injury after Thursday's win. Kerr's comments seemingly hinted that it may not be a long-term problem. Curry wanted to return, but the Warriors held him back as a precaution. However, the Warriors star still underwent an MRI.

"He just fell in the pelvic tailbone area," Kerr said. "So he was trying to come back ... And we just decided not risking anything, so hopefully it's not bad, it's getting imaging right now."

Curry had a similar injury in the 2020-21 COVID-shortened season. He went on to win the scoring title that year. However, the Warriors fell short of making the playoffs after losing back-to-back games in the play-in tournament.

Steph Curry gutted through the injury for the rest of the season with a pad on his pack as protection gear. With the playoffs fast approaching, it seems unlikely that the Warriors will rush him back, especially with Jimmy Butler covering well in Curry's absence.
