Golden State Warriors All-Star guard Stephen Curry limped to the locker room in the third quarter of Saturday's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks and appeared to be favoring his left leg. He did not return.

The injury occurred with 2:01 remaining in the third tally when Dallas' McKinley Wright IV's right knee clashed with Curry's left knee on a drive to the hoop. Curry was called for a foul on the play.

The All-Star limped to the bench, then to the locker room, where X-rays were negative.

The Warriors announced during the fourth quarter that Curry would have a subsequent MRI either later Saturday night or on Sunday.

"That's all I have is that he's going to get an MRI. I know he had an X-ray and that he's getting an MRI. That's it. I haven't talked to him or Rick or anybody yet," Steve Kerr said after the game.

"Anytime a guy's going to get an MRI there's a concern level. This is for sure. So we'll just have to wait and see the results," the Warriors head coach added.

Curry, who missed 11 games earlier this season with a left shoulder subluxation, scored a team-high 21 points in 26 minutes with six rebounds and seven assists before his latest injury.

The Warriors ended up winning the game vs. Mavs, 119-113.
