During the Warriors' 131-116 road loss to the Houston Rockets in Game 5 of their first-round playoff series on Wednesday, Rockets forward Dillon Brooks contacted Warriors superstar guard Stephen Curry's right hand following a shot. No foul was called, but it was significant since Curry has been nursing an injured right thumb for much of the season.

After Wednesday’s game, Curry was asked about his injury, which went viral after a photo of his thumb surfaced on social media, and he gave a hilarious answer. “State of your thumb right now,” a reporter asked Curry after Game 5. "There's a picture online (which) looks pretty swollen," the reporter responded.
