Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry was in visible pain after battling for a loose ball with Boston Celtics centre Al Horford, the two-time MVP would remain in the contest.

Stephen Curry said "I'm going to play" when asked about his availability for Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

The Warriors star was forced to leave Wednesday's Game 3 with a foot injury, which he says has been lingering since the end of the regular season.

"There's comfort knowing I've been here before, but obviously would rather I don't have to deal with it," Curry said of the injury, according to ESPN's Kendra Andrews.

Curry was injured when the Celtics' Al Horford landed on his foot while the pair chased a loose ball. The Celtics went on to win the game 116-100 to take a 2-1 series lead.

After the game Curry also said he didn't expect to miss Game 4, which goes Friday night in Boston. He had a game-high 31 points Wednesday and is averaging 26.8 points in the playoffs.
