Warriors' Stephen Curry exits game vs. Raptors with pelvic contusion after landing hard on tailbone
The Golden State Warriors are holding their breath on Stephen Curry.
The former MVP exited Thursday's game against the Toronto Raptors with an apparent injury after landing hard on his tailbone on a drive in the third quarter. The Warriors later announced he would not return due to a pelvic contusion.

Curry was in clear pain after the impact. He left the court under his own power, but in clear discomfort as he massaged his tailbone and lower back before heading to the locker room.
He finished the game with 17 points on 6-of-8 shooting (2-of-4 from 3-point range).

That would be the last thing the Warriors want to see during their recent hot streak, especially after Curry missed Tuesday's game to rest his back, which had been ailing him recently.
The Warriors have been one of the hottest teams in the NBA since the trade deadline, winning 15 of 18 after picking up Jimmy Butler to provide another veteran star alongside Curry and Draymond Green. The move seemed to galvanize Curry in particular, as he went from averaging 22.1 points per game with 38.9% 3-point shooting before the trade to 28.1 and 40.5% in the same stats entering Thursday.
That pushed the Warriors to sixth place in the Western Conference, good for the final guaranteed playoff spot. With only 12 games remaining in the regular season after Thursday, they can only hope Curry's injury isn't serious.
