He was ruled out for the game with a bruised pelvis.<\/p>\n<p>Warriors coach Steve Kerr said after the game that Curry was getting an MRI but had pushed to return to the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe thought he might be able to come back, and we just decided not to risk anything,\u201d Kerr said. \u201cHopefully it\u2019s not bad, but he\u2019s getting imaging right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Curry dribbled into the lane and jumped near the hoop to make a pass to the left corner, then collided with Toronto\u2019s Jonathan Mogbo and Colin Castleton, falling awkwardly on his lower back.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Concern for the Warriors: Steph Curry just went to the locker room grabbing at his tailbone after a hard fall.

The Raptors led 88-83 at the time.<\/p>\n<p>A Golden State trainer came out to check on Curry, who walked to the bench and eventually to the locker room holding his lower back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe hit the ground hard,\u201d longtime teammate Draymond Green said. \u201cYou could hear it. Crazy. Obviously, very scary moment for us, for him. Hopefully he\u2019s good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Curry, facing focused individual defense from Toronto, had just made two layups as he tried to bring the Warriors back from a surprising deficit against the Raptors, who entered the game at 24-45. He had 17 points in 25 minutes at the time of his fall, making 6 of his 8 attempts from the field and 2 of 4 from 3-point range.<\/p>\n<p>Jimmy Butler picked up the scoring \u2013 and defensive \u2013 slack once Curry left.<\/p>\n<p>After scoring 24 points and dishing out 10 assists in Tuesday\u2019s victory over Milwaukee, the veteran wing put up a 16-point, 11-rebound, 12-assist triple-double against the visiting Raptors.<\/p>\n<p>It was Butler\u2019s second triple-double of his Warriors career.<\/p>\n<p>With the Warriors up by three, Butler flew in from the weak side for a big-time block on a Jamal Shead drive with 20 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter that sealed the game.<\/p>\n<p>Curry\u2019s injury also overshadowed a prolific first half by Green.<\/p>\n<p>The 35-year-old power forward who recently politicked for a second Defensive Player of the Year award showed off a deadeye shooting stroke \u2013 at least for one half.<\/p>\n<p>Green put in 18 of those in the first half, the most the four-time All-Star had scored in a first half since Game 7 of the 2016 Finals, when he had 22 in the first 24 minutes of a 93-89 Cavs win.<\/p>\n<p>He finished the night with 21 points.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they\u2019re going to sag and stand in the paint, leave me that open, I put a lot of work and time in to take those shots confidently,\u201d Green said. \u201cWhen I\u2019m making those shots, it just makes our team that much harder to guard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Quinten Post scored 18, Jonathan Kuminga had 16 and Brandin Podziemski dropped in 15 points. The Warriors improved to 41-29 and remained the sixth seed in the Western Conference.<\/p>\n<p>Scottie Barnes led the Raptors with 29 points, and Mogbo, a former collegiate standout at San Francisco, had five points and five rebounds in his return to the Bay Area.<\/p>\n<p>Golden State will begin a six-game road trip in Atlanta on Saturday.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10155377\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eastbaytimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/BNG-L-WARRIORS-0320-18-1.jpg?fit=620%2C9999px&amp;ssl=1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eastbaytimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/BNG-L-WARRIORS-0320-18-1.jpg?fit=620%2C9999px&amp;ssl=1 620w,https:\/\/www.eastbaytimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/BNG-L-WARRIORS-0320-18-1.jpg?fit=780%2C9999px&amp;ssl=1 780w,https:\/\/www.eastbaytimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/BNG-L-WARRIORS-0320-18-1.jpg?fit=810%2C9999px&amp;ssl=1 810w,https:\/\/www.eastbaytimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/BNG-L-WARRIORS-0320-18-1.jpg?fit=1280%2C9999px&amp;ssl=1 1280w,https:\/\/www.eastbaytimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/BNG-L-WARRIORS-0320-18-1.jpg?fit=1860%2C9999px&amp;ssl=1 1860w\" alt=\"Steph Curry injured on hard fall in Warriors\u2019 victory over Raptors\" width=\"6660\" data-attachment-id=\"10155377\" data-sizes=\"auto\" \/><figcaption>A trainer leans over as Golden State Warriors\u2019 Stephen Curry (30) grimaces in pain after landing on his back during a play in the third quarter of their NBA game at Chase Center in San Francisco, Calif., on Thursday, March 19, 2025.
