Don't worry, Golden State Warriors fans. Stephen Curry's left foot is clearly feeling better. The Warriors superstar was initially listed as questionable to play on Sunday against the Houston Rockets due to left foot soreness, but has been upgraded to probable on Golden State's latest injury report.
Curry popped up on the Dubs injury report Saturday afternoon, joining Draymond Green and Jonathan Kuminga. After dropping 41 points on ridiculous 14-of-19 shooting in Golden State's hard-earned win over the Sacramento Kings on Friday night, Curry was seen in the locker room icing his left foot. Neither Curry nor anyone else on the team mentioned he was injured while speaking with reporters.
