Curry immediately subbed out of the game and headed back to the locker room, forcing offseason acquisition Willie Cauley-Stein to shoot the free throws.
There was later confirmation on the three-time NBA champion's status:
Stephen Curry has a broken left hand.

No official timeline has been announced yet but Warriors reporter Kerith Burke of NBC Sports Bay Area had more info:
I got more info from Bob Myers. He said Steph Curry will have a CT scan to determine if surgery is next the next step. A cast on Steph's broken left hand could be an option too. Estimated time of recovery unknown right now.

With Curry's unfortunate injury, the injury list increases for the reigning Western Conference champions.
