Stephen Curry injures foot, Steve Kerr believes play was dangerous

Kerr was shown yelling at Smart after the play. “I thought it was a dangerous play,” Kerr said. “I thought Marcus dove into Steph, and that’s what I was upset about. A lot of respect for Marcus. He’s a hell of a player, a gamer, a competitor. I coached him in the World Cup a few summers ago. We talked after the game and we’re good. But I thought it was a dangerous play.”

“I saw the kick. But shit happens. I’ve kicked somebody before, so it is what it is.”
Steve Kerr lost his shit at Marcus Smart for injuring Steph Curry diving for a loose ball. But as Smart defends himself for defending all out, he has an ironic ally.

JTA’s perspective on the Marcus Smart loose ball dive that hurt Curry: “I don’t think it was a dirty play. Could’ve probably been a bit more cautious.

More on this storyline

Golden State Warriors star guard Stephen Curry was ruled out of the second half of Wednesday night’s 110-88 loss to the Boston Celtics due to left foot soreness. He underwent an MRI immediately after the game. Asked about his level of concern surrounding Curry’s foot, Warriors coach Steve Kerr said, “We’ll know after the MRI.” Curry injured his foot at the 4:17 mark of the second quarter when his leg got rolled on by the Celtics’ Marcus Smart as the two wrestled for a loose ball. -via ESPN / March 17, 2022

Smart explained that he didn’t see Curry and was just going after the ball. “I saw the ball, I dove for the ball, trying to make a play,” Smart said. “Unfortunately that occurred.” He added: “I’m sure I’m going to get called dirty. But I know who I am. … I play very hard and I leave everything on the court. … My teammates, my colleagues, they know I’m not a dirty player.” -via ESPN / March 17, 2022

Mark Haynes: Draymond Green on Marcus Smart hurting Steph Curry: “I can’t call it a dirty play. I will say that was probably an unnecessary dive…The Ball is literally in front of him, so if anything, you can say it was unnecessary, but I can’t call that a dirty play.” -via Twitter @markhaynesnba / March 17, 2022
