Steph Curry injury update: Warriors star returns after trip to locker room

Golden State Warriors fans may be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

With 2:39 to play in the first quarter of Golden State’s Play-In Tournament game Wednesday, April 15 against the Los Angeles Clippers, All-Star point guard Stephen Curry went into the locker room with a towel draped over his head.

Curry has been dealing with lingering injuries this season, including a runner’s knee that sidelined him for more than two months, so the sight of him headed into the locker room prompted concerns that he had reaggravated the injury.

Moments later, however, Curry was back on the bench, talking with teammates.

“Oh don’t worry about me,” Curry told the Amazon Prime sideline reporter as he walked back to the bench. “I’m good.”

Curry played 8:13 in the first quarter and went 1-of-5 from the field, for 3 points. He finally returned to the court with 7:59 to go in the second quarter.
