Curry has been dealing with this thumb injury for the past few weeks, but it does not seem to be bothering him too much. The Warriors are lucky that it was not more serious, and he is able to play through it, as they would be in trouble if he had to miss time in the postseason.
The Warriors and Rockets are set to face off for Game 5 in Houston on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. ET on TNT.
