Stephen Curry suffers pelvic contusion injury and is ruled out in the 3rd quarter of Thursday’s game in Golden State.
Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry will miss the start of the team’s six-game road trip after suffering a pelvic contusion. Curry was injured during Thursday night’s 117-114 win over the Toronto Raptors, but an MRI on Friday revealed no structural damage.
Per the team, Curry won’t play in Saturday’s road game against the Atlanta Hawks (7 p.m. ET, NBA TV). He will receive treatment for the injury and will be re-evaluated on Monday.

Curry, who was returning to the court after sitting out Tuesday to rest, got hurt while driving for a layup late in the third quarter. He landed hard on his tailbone as he crashed to the floor and remained down for several moments before being helped to his feet and taken to the locker room.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr said Curry tried to talk his way back into the game, but the decision was made to keep him out.
“He thought he might be able to come back,” Kerr said. “We just decided not to risk anything. Hopefully it’s not bad.”
An 11-time All-Star, two-time NBA scoring champion and two-time Kia MVP, Curry has scored in double figures in 57 of the 59 games he’s played this season. He went into the game against Toronto averaging a team-leading 24.3 points and scored 17 against the Raptors before leaving injured.
“He hit that ground hard, you could hear it,” teammate Draymond Green said. “It’s crazy. Obviously a scary moment for us, for him. Hopefully he’s good.”
Though Stephen Curry has been diagnosed with a pelvic contusion, the Warriors can lean on Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green in the interim.
The Warriors don’t play again until starting a six-game road trip in Atlanta on Saturday.
Kerr was unsure of Curry’s availability for the game against the Hawks and said it will be determined by Curry and Rick Celebrini, Golden State’s Director of Sports Medicine and Performance.
“Rick makes all those decisions based on his evaluation,” Kerr said. “At this point it’s all speculation.”
