Curry confident he'll play
The two-time MVP sustained a foot injury when Celtics big man Al Horford landed on his leg in the fourth quarter during a scramble for a loose ball.
Curry was able to continue for a few minutes after the incident before being removed from the action.
Head coach Steve Kerr said the Warriors star will be assessed on Thursday, while Curry is confident he won't have to sit out as the Dubs bid to level the series again before Game 5 in San Francisco.
"I'll be all right," Curry said after Game 3, via CBS Sports. "I got caught underneath Al [Horford]. Obviously there'll be some pain, but I'll be alright.
"Figure out how it feels tomorrow and get ready for Friday. [It was] the same thing I did against Boston during the regular season, but not as bad."
