Stephen Curry missed a month with a left foot sprain earlier this season, but the Warriors star insisted that he won't miss time in the NBA Finals.
“It’s the same foot and all that,” Curry said. Boston holds a 2-1 series lead, and Curry’s injury comes at an inopportune time of the series, as there is only one off day in between Game 3 and Game 4. “[Curry] was involved in the pile up,” Kerr said. Curry stayed on the court and appeared to be in some pain, but told reporters during his postgame comments Wednesday that he would be “all right.” He later departed TD Garden with a slight limp. Golden State didn’t go through a typical practice on Thursday, with Kerr noting that his “high-minute” players would solely be undergoing “treatment and recovery.” Boston outrebounded Golden State 47-31 in Game 3, claiming 15 offensive rebounds, and tallied 22 second-chance points.
Curry says he'll be good to go on Friday night in Game 4.
"I'll be all right," Curry said after Game 3. However, the quick turnaround from Games 3 and 4, with only 48 hours between them, will test Curry's pain tolerance. After the game, the two-time league MVP said it felt like a mild foot sprain. However, while the initial injury looked rather troublesome, Curry said during Thursday's media availability that he's playing in Game 4 on Friday. When asked how confident he was that he could play Friday without being limited, Curry said "I'm going to play, that's all I know right now."

The 2-time Kia MVP plans to play through an ankle injury in Boston on Friday.
“It’s been our pattern for many years and has nothing to do with me or our coaching staff. Asked to explain that disconnect – being super-vigilant about the problem, even as it happens again and again – Smart said: “Can’t. It’s just one of those things where it’s a mystery. “I go into my book of incredibly inspiring quotes from movies and history,” he deadpanned. “I have no idea,” he said. We know it, and they know that we know that they know. Afterward, he dropped an expletive himself, saying he played “like [bleep]” and vowed to do better Friday. “When I did it in the regular season, I knew right away that something was severely wrong,” Curry said. The Celtics know that turnovers and third quarters have been chronic problems for them this postseason. “I could kind of gauge whether I should stay out there or not and not do any more damage. Curry got hurt in a loose-ball scrum that had several players hitting the floor with 4:07 left and Boston up 110-98. “I’m excited about the opportunity.” Curry answered the main question Thursday – “I’m going to play.

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry says he's "going to play" in Game 4 Friday night against the Boston Celtics despite an unspecified injury.
"We would not be the Warriors without Draymond. He is one of the best players I've ever played with. I know how to be him better than anyone else can be him. "... We are a much better team when I'm aggressive offensively, so I have to be that for this team. "I know how to be him better than anyone else. "I'm going to play," he said definitely. "So once I got checked out last night, I knew I wouldn't have to go get any extra tests just because we've been through this before."
