Golden State Warriors point guard and two-time NBA MVP Stephen Curry was not injured when the Porsche he was driving was hit twice in a multi-car crash on Friday morning.

The crash occurred on westbound Highway 24 outside Oakland, when a Lexus spun out on the freeway and collided with Curry's car smashing its front right mirror before a second car hit it at rear-end.

Fortunately, he was not hurt and eventually made it to the Warriors' morning practice and later tweeted that he was fine.

The California Highway Patrol said the rainy weather likely contributed to the crash.

Curry, 30, has been sidelined since suffering a groin injury on November 8. He has missed seven games, and the team has not set a date for his return.

Earlier this year, Stephen Curry and the defending champions Golden State Warriors topped the NBA list of most popular jerseys and team merchandise for a third consecutive regular season.
