Golden State Warriors in wait-and-see mode after Stephen Curry caught up in scrum in Game 3 loss

BOSTON — There was a lot for the Golden State Warriors to digest following their 116-100 loss to the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. But on the top of their minds after falling behind 2-1 in the series was the status of their superstar, Stephen Curry.

As Curry entered and exited the news conference room after the game, he walked gingerly, trying to avoid putting any real pressure on his left foot.

Curry said the injury felt close to what he suffered against the visiting Celtics in March, when he sprained his foot on a similar play involving Marcus Smart. That play resulted in Curry straining his left foot — the same foot affected in Game 3 — and missing the last month of the regular season. Wednesday's injury, Curry said, felt less severe.

"[Horford is] a big body, obviously," Curry said. «I haven't seen the play, so I don't know if it could have been avoided or not. I was in that situation with Marcus back in the Bay, and you just want to get your foot out of there. That's all I was trying to
