Curry Game 7 Not Suspended

The league sources told ESPN, Curry is likely to face a fine, as is NBA precedent in these situations, and not a suspension.

Steve Kerr agreed on Stephen Curry decision, “He had every right to be upset. He’s the MVP of the league. He gets six fouls called on him; three of them were absolutely ridiculous,” Kerr said. “He steals the ball from Kyrie [Irving] clean at one point. LeBron [James] flops on the last one. [Referee] Jason Phillips falls for that for a flop. As the MVP of the league, we’re talking about these touch fouls in the NBA Finals.
