NBA: Golden State guard Stephen Curry is expected to miss “a few weeks” because of a left shoulder injury he sustained Wednesday night, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported.

Curry left for the locker room toward the end of the third quarter of the Warriors’ 125-119 defeat to the Indiana Pacers after he tweaked his shoulder trying to strip the ball from a driving Jalen Smith. Curry was seen grabbing his shoulder and wincing in pain, prompting Coach Steve Kerr to call a timeout. Curry headed to the locker room and did not return to the game.

Curry was scheduled to undergo an MRI on Thursday afternoon in Philadelphia, where the Warriors play Friday.
