Warriors guard Stephen Curry left the game shortly after taking a blow to his left shin in the third quarter of a 111-88 rout of the Lakers at Staples Center on Tuesday night.
The Warriors do not believe the aggravation of the tender shin will jeopardize Curry’s chances of playing the next game, Friday at Portland.
Curry, who is recovering from a contusion on the shin, banged it against the leg of 7-foot-2, 290-pound Lakers center Roy Hibbert with 7:39 left in the third quarter. Curry immediately began hobbling as the Warriors called a timeout.
