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

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.
