Steph Curry has dealt with ankle and other leg injuries during his 11-year NBA career, so he knows how he will feel when he returns from those injuries.

But Curry has never had to deal with a broken hand.

So when the Warriors' superstar point guard was cleared to play in Thursday's game against the Toronto Raptors, everybody wondered: How would his previously broken left hand respond to contact?

NBC Sports Bay Area's Kerith Burke spoke to Curry after the Warriors' 121-113 loss to Toronto and her first question was about how his hand felt.

"It felt fine," Curry said. "You try to do as much simulation of game-like experiences to test the hand to make sure it's ready to go and clear all those checkpoints, so, like I said earlier, I think the first three minutes, I fell right on my hand pretty hard and it was ready to take that blow and got it and kept it moving. So the best part about tonight was just I didn't think about my hand at all, and that's a good feeling coming back after four months."

Curry played 27 minutes and finished with 23 points, seven assists and seven rebounds.

While the broken bone in his hand has healed, the nerve issue Curry has been experiencing will take a while to go away, as his trainer Brandon Payne told NBC Sports Bay Area last week.

But it's a good sign that Curry isn't worried about his hand. His next chance to test it will come on Saturday when the Warriors host the Philadelphia 76ers.
