SAN FRANCISCO _ Warriors guard Stephen Curry exited Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns in the third quarter with a broken left hand.
The Warriors confirmed the news on Twitter after performing X-rays on Curry.
Three-and-a-half minutes into the quarter, Curry drove for a layup and was fouled by Suns center Aron Baynes when he fell head first into the restricted area. The 6-foot-10, 260 pound Baynes fell with him, and landed on Curry.
Curry laid on the ground for about 15 seconds, grimacing as he grabbed his left wrist, before being helped up by Warriors forward Draymond Green. He then stood for a while, hunched over in apparent pain.
After a short sit on the bench, Curry went to the locker room. Because Curry did not shoot his free throws, he was not eligible to return to the game (the Suns elected center Willie Cauley-Stein to shoot his free throws in his absence).
It's doubtful Curry would have returned anyway, given the Warriors trailed by 29 points at the time of the injury.
