Golden State Warriors great Stephen Curry headed to the locker room in Thursday night's 117-114 home win versus the Toronto Raptors after landing hard on his tailbone, per 95.7 The Game.
Shortly after heading to the locker room, Curry was ruled out for the rest of the game with a pelvic contusion, according to the Warriors' PR department.
The 37-year-old point guard was driving toward the basket in the third quarter and collided with Raptors forward Jonathan Mogbo right after he passed the ball. No foul was called and Curry hit the ground with a big thud. He was in obvious pain, holding his tailbone area as the possession continued.
Preserving No. 30's long-term health is far and away the Warriors' top priority. Head coach Steve Kerr rested him ahead of Tuesday's victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, following a poor and injury-hampered showing versus the Denver Nuggets a day earlier, but there is little one can do to prepare against a fluky injury like a hard fall.

Warriors show grit without Stephen Curry
Curry was in the midst of a big bounce-back outing, scoring 17 points on 6-of-8 shooting in 25 minutes before exiting. He recently admitted to dealing with a back issue, so this latest setback is certainly worth monitoring. Even before the four-time champion and 2022 NBA Finals MVP left the game, Toronto was giving Golden State all it could handle.
Ultimately, the Warriors prevailed once again without their top guy. Defensive Player of the Year contender Draymond Green took on a bigger offensive role, posting 21 points on 7-of-18 shooting to go with seven rebounds, five assists and a whopping four steals in the win. Jimmy Butler continues to be the Dubs' X-factor, recording a triple-double despite a rough shooting night. Jonathan Kuminga and Quinten Post were excellent off the bench, combining for 34 points.
Scottie Barnes did all he could to help the Raptors steal a victory in the Chase Center– 29 points, 10 boards and six dimes– but Golden State survives. Attention now turns to the health of Stephen Curry. The Warriors (41-29) begin a six-game road trip this weekend, and fans eagerly want to know if he will be active for Saturday's face-off with the Atlanta Hawks (33-36).
