Golden State Warriors superstar Steph Curry was not able to finish Friday’s game against the Detroit Pistons . The former back-to-back MVP left the contest in the third quarter after sustaining a knee injury. Curry was seen limping to the locker room as he left the playing court.

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr remained optimistic after Friday’s loss. Kerr said that he did not think Curry suffered a “major” injury and that he believes the 6-foot-2 point guard “will be okay.”

An important update on Curry’s knee injury surfaced on Saturday. The Warriors got the results of the 37-year-old MRI, and the good news is that there is no serious cause for concern.

The official diagnosis on Curry is right knee soreness . The Warriors said that he is day-to-day. At this point, there is still a chance that Curry will be able to suit up for Golden State’s next game, which is on Tuesday against the Philadelphia 76ers .

Curry and the Warriors have dodged a bullet here. Kerr was right in predicting that it was not a serious injury for their cornerstone superstar. The fact that he’s being listed as day-to-day is definitely a good sign.

Nevertheless, there is still a significant chance that Curry will miss Tuesday’s game against the Sixers. If he sits out, more minutes should be available for Brandin Podziemski and Pat Spencer .

Curry is currently averaging 27.2 points on 46.8% shooting, 3.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.1 steals in 31.3 minutes per game. He is also knocking down a league-best 4.5 triples per contest on a 39.1% clip.
