X-Rays were negative and the Warriors’ medical staff popped the finger back in place, TNT’s Allie LaForce reported.

The injury occurred when Curry tried to poke the ball away from Clint Capela under the rim. Curry reentered with tape around the finger a few minutes later and finished with 20 points on 6-of-16 shooting.

“It hurts, but it’ll be alright. I didn’t break anything. I am fortunate and some higher powers were looking out for me on that one, but hopefully before Saturday that goes away and I’ll be fine,” Curry said after Game 2. “I was able to play. It’s different when I’ve never had a dislocated finger like that before and they pop it back in and you’re just dealing with pain, but I wasn’t thinking about it out there.”

After returning, Curry missed his first four 3-pointers, but then made a finger roll and a pull-up 3-pointer in the final minute of the first quarter. When he came back in the game in the second quarter, Curry blocked Capela’s shot from behind with his injured hand while also saving the ball from going out of bounds.

Overall, Warriors coach Steve Kerr was happy his star didn’t suffer that serious of an injury.

“It looked bad when he came off the floor. I looked at the finger,” Kerr said. “I was hoping it was just a dislocation and not a break. Fortunately that’s what it turned out to be. As far as whether it bothered him, you can ask him that. I thought he did some great things for us and fueled us. May not have shot the 3 that well, but played a great game for us.”
