OAKLAND, Calif. -- In his first game back since missing six contests with a right ankle injury, Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry left late in the third quarter of Friday night's 106-94 win over the Atlanta Hawks with a left knee strain and did not return.
Curry will undergo an MRI on his left knee on Saturday, a league source told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
The incident occurred when teammate JaVale McGee elevated for a block attempt and ended up falling on the left knee or leg of Curry. The two-time NBA MVP immediately begin hopping and then limping in pain.
Golden State coach Steve Kerr pulled Curry from the game promptly. The Warriors head performance therapist, Chelsea Lane, checked on Curry while on the bench as he sat in clear frustration.
Moments later, Curry attempted to exit for the locker room, but he was struggling to do so.
He played in 25 minutes and scored 29 points on 10 of 18 shooting.
