Stephen Curry injured his ankle against the Thunder on Saturday night and went to the locker room.
Update: Curry has since returned from the locker room and reentered the game. ABC reported that the Warriors said he suffered merely an ankle tweak on the play.

If there is one thing that we all do not want to see at all this season, it’s a Stephen Curry injury. With the Warriors taking on the Oklahoma City Thunder, that first was sort of realized.
Just after the second half of the game got underway, Curry appeared to have rolled his ankle and he was headed to the locker room from there to get checked out.

It wasn’t anything intentional on the Thunder’s end of things, it was the funny way that he came down on it on the baseline. It’s something that happens in the game and Curry was hit with it on Saturday night.
This would obviously be a crushing blow for the Warriors on Saturday because he was keeping them in the game against a very game Thunder squad who has controlled most of this one.
Now the good news from this is that he was able to head back there under his own power, which is always a good sign.
As more information about the Curry injury becomes available, we will be sure to keep you updated.
