The injury occurred late in the third quarter when Curry appeared to bang knees with Mavericks guard McKinley Wright IV. The Warriors' star was whistled for a foul and immediately came up limping.
Dallas called a timeout and Curry limped back to the bench. After being evaluated by Warriors trainer Rick Celebrini, Curry went back to the locker room.
When Curry left the game, he had a game-high 21 points on 7-of-11 shooting from the field and 2-of-6 from 3-point range.

Curry began the day as probable for the game against the Mavericks with a left leg contusion after he came down awkwardly on a 3-point attempt in the fourth quarter against the Denver Nuggets on Thursday night.
Curry missed 11 games earlier this season with a left shoulder subluxation, and the Warriors can't afford to have him miss any more time as they try to get their season back on track.
