HOUSTON (AP) – Golden State’s Stephen Curry did not start the second half of Game 4 against the Houston Rockets on Sunday after slipping and appearing to injure his right knee.
Curry slid awkwardly to the court on the last play of the first half and immediately grabbed his knee. He got up and looked to have trouble putting weight on it before jogging with a limp to the locker room. He came out with the team after halftime, but sat on the bench for most of the warmup time. After talking with coaches, he returned to the locker room.
It was his first game back after missing the last two games with a sprained right ankle.
Shaun Livingston started the second half in his place.
The Warriors lead the series 2-1.
Also out was Houston’s Patrick Beverley, who strained his right leg in the second quarter.
