Stephen Curry undergoes tests, awaiting timetable for return

SAN FRANCISCO — Warriors guard Stephen Curry underwent scans on his broken left hand on Thursday, and the organization will meet with specialists to determine how long he will be out.

Those specialists will review the results of Curry’s CT scan to determined whether or not the two-time MVP needs surgery to repair what ESPN first reported as a broken second metacarpal in his left hand. The team expects to have a timetable in place by Friday afternoon.

Players who have recently undergone surgery to repair the same bone missed about a month of the season. Players who did not need surgery missed two-to-four weeks.

The injury occurred when Curry, 31, was fouled hard by Suns center Aron Baynes on a layup attempt in the third quarter of the Warriors’ loss to the Suns Wednesday. Curry left the arena before the end of the game to begin tests at a local hospital.

“Obviously, it’s been a tough start for us on many levels, so we’re just trying to find our footing,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said after the game. “This puts us in a tough spot, so we’ll assess it and go from there.”
