The injury occurred when Stephen Curry, struggling to keep possession of the ball near midcourt, had Boston's Marcus Smart land on the back of his left leg while diving for the ball; Warriors coach Steve Kerr criticised Smart in post-game comments.
Golden State Warriors superstar guard Stephen Curry is out indefinitely after being diagnosed with a sprained ligament in his left foot, according to US reports.
ESPN reported the Warriors are optimistic Curry can return by the start of the NBA playoffs next month.
Curry underwent an MRI immediately following the Warriors' 110-88 loss to the Boston Celtics on Wednesday at San Francisco.
The injury occurred with just over four minutes remaining in the second quarter when Boston's Marcus Smart landed on the back of Curry's leg while diving for possession of the ball.
Curry had his foot twist awkwardly in the incident, and shortly thereafter had to be removed from the game. He headed straight to the locker room, walking under his own power.
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr criticised Smart for the play following the game.
"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."
Curry, 34, holds team-leading averages in points (25.5) and assists (6.3) to go along with 5.2 rebounds in 64 games this season.
