Stephen Curry hurts left knee
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry left the Warriors’ 119-113 victory over the Dallas Mavericks at the end of the third quarter after suffering an apparent left knee injury. Curry immediately received an X-ray, which came back negative, the team announced. He will get an MRI next. Curry sustained the injury with 2:01 left in the third quarter after his left knee collided with Dallas’ McKinley Wright IV’s knee while Curry was defending him.

Mavs gave it a go. a 13-0 run over 5:00 late in the 4th qtr, but the deficit too great to overcome as they fall to GS 119-113. Mavs get 25 from Dinwiddie, 22 from Hardaway as he busted out of what has been a deep slump and 18 from DFS. Curry 21 before he left w/ leg injury in 3rd – 11:23 PM

Kerr did not have any update of Curry after the game. Says he hasn’t spoken to him.
“Any time a guy gets an MRI, there is a concern level. So we will just have to wait and see the results…this has happened many times over the years. Fingers crossed he’s OK.” – 11:21 PM

Steve Kerr says he’s going back to the traditional starting lineup of Steph Curry (when healthy), Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green and Kevon Looney. The point is, Looney is starting
That unit played 11 minutes tonight and was a +9, outscoring the Mavs 32-23 – 11:20 PM

Warriors win 119-113 but might’ve lost Steph Curry in the process.
Curry will get an MRI on his lower left leg.
Seven Warriors players scored 10 or more points. Curry led the way with 21. Draymond Green had 17 points, nine assists and nine rebounds. mercurynews.com/2023/02/04/ste… – 11:03 PM

Warriors get across the finish line for a home win over the Mavericks. Bumps their record to 27-26. But concern resides with Steph Curry. Left in the third quarter. MRI on his left leg on deck. Five games before the All-Star break: Thunder, Blazers, Lakers, Wizards, Clippers. – 11:01 PM
