Golden State Warriors superstar point guard Stephen Curry practiced fully on Thursday after suffering a dislocated middle left finger in Game 2 against the Houston Rockets.
The Warriors taped Curry's fingers up. The two-time MVP should be fine going forward.
Curry is going through his normal post-practice shooting routine. Kerr says Curry went through all of practice with no issues. Curry’s middle and ring fingers are still taped together but he appears to be fine.

Curry scored 20 points in Game 2, but shot just 6-of-16 from the field and 3-of-13 from beyond the arc in 33 minutes of action. It's clear the injury was affecting his jump shot. The Warriors were still able to win Game 2 and are up 2-0 on the Rockets. Games 3 and 4 will be in Houston.
Curry is averaging 23.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game in the playoffs. The sharpshooter is shooting 47.4 percent from the floor, 42.3 percent from the 3-point line and 97.9 percent from the charity stripe.
It's going to be interesting to see how Curry shoots the ball during the Warriors' playoff run moving forward. Golden State is trying to win its third-straight title and fourth ring in five years.
The Warriors are expecting the Rockets to play better in Games 3 and 4 at home. It's not like Houston didn't compete well in Games 1 and 2 at Oracle Arena. Golden State won Games 1 and 2 by a combined 10 points.
Game 3 of this series is on Saturday. That gives Curry three days off in between games.
