After scoring 22 points on seven-of-15 shooting, dishing out eight assists, grabbing six rebounds and recording three steals while leading his team to a huge fourth quarter lead over the Utah Jazz, Golden State Warriors’ guard Stephen Curry went down with a head injury Monday night.
Curry is down ... Marvin Williams landed on his head ... he's face down on the hardwood

Curry just rolled on to his back. The trainers and most of the team, and Mark Jackson, are standing over him

Curry is now walking off under his own power. His head is covered with a towel

He walks straight to the locker room with the head athletic trainer

Marvin Williams fell directly on top of Curry's head, smashing the left side of his face into the court

With a 20-plus point lead, it is unlikely that Curry would return to the game even if he was absolutely fine.
On the season, Curry is averaging 19.7 points, 8.8 assists and 3.4 rebounds per game.
