Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry sustained a pelvic injury during last night’s 117-114 victory against the Toronto Raptors. The injury occurred late in the third quarter when Curry drove to the basket and landed hard on his tailbone after a mid-air collision with a defender. He remained on the floor for several moments before being helped to the locker room.

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr revealed that Curry initially wanted to return to the game but was ultimately held out as a precaution.
“He thought he might be able to come back,” Kerr said. “We just decided not to risk anything. Hopefully, it’s not bad.”

Curry finished the game with 17 points, two rebounds, and one assist in 25 minutes of play.
The Warriors are awaiting the results of an MRI to determine the severity of the injury. Teammates, including Draymond Green, expressed concern but remained hopeful.
“He hit that ground hard, you could hear it,” Green said. “It’s crazy. Obviously a scary moment for us, for him. Hopefully, he’s good.”
Curry’s injury comes at a critical time for the Warriors, who are battling for playoff positioning in the Western Conference. The team begins a six-game road trip in Atlanta on Saturday, and Curry’s availability for the upcoming games remains uncertain.
