Related Topics: Stephen Curry, Kobe Bryant

LOS ANGELES -- Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry said he consulted with former Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant this week on how to deal with a painful, injured ring finger on his shooting hand.

Curry missed a game this week with the injury, but was able to play 39 minutes with a wrap and pad on his finger in the Warriors' 127-123 overtime win over the Lakers Wednesday night at Staples Center.

Curry said he reached out to Bryant, because he knew the former Lakers star had dealt with similar injury during his career.
