Steph Curry was treated for dehydration following the Golden State Warriors’ win in Game 5 on Sunday night.

Curry, the regular-season league MVP, scored 37 points to guide Golden State to a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series. He is expected to play in Game 6 at Cleveland on Tuesday.

Curry was treated for a head injury in the Western Conference finals against the Houston Rockets but missed only the equivalent of one quarter after landing on his head, neck and wrist.

Since going 5 of 23 in Game 2, sparking national attention for hustling backup Matthew Dellavedova of the Cavaliers, Curry is 31 of 60 from the floor.

A win Tuesday would give the Warriors their first NBA championship since 1975.
