The Warriors’ next game is against the defending champion Boston Celtics on Monday at home.
The 36-year-old Curry leads the Warriors in scoring in his 16th season. He entered Saturday averaging 22.9 points.
The Warriors also lost Draymond Green to a left calf injury on Saturday. Green was limping after getting hurt in the first quarter, and Kerr said he will have an MRI on Sunday. Moses Moody, who had 13 points against Washington, could see more playing time if Green is out for an extended stretch.
