Steph Curry‘s history of ankle injuries are well-documented, and on Thursday night, the Golden State Warriors‘ star found himself with a bum wheel once more. During the first quarter of Golden State’s game against San Antonio, Curry got out on the break and behind a pair of Spurs defenders for a potential layup.

The shot got rejected, but Curry also drew a foul. The little bump he got on the play caused him to have a little too much moment, and while he was trying to slow down, the two-time MVP rolled his right ankle. It was a subtle moment, but it’s an injury that every hoops fan knows can be really rough if it happens to the wrong person.

Curry hobbled into the tunnel and needed some attention, but came back out to hit a pair of free throws. He then made his way into the locker room. Here’s a slow motion view of what happened.

This isn’t Curry’s first ankle injury in the last week, as he rolled his right ankle in the first quarter of Golden State’s game against Atlanta on Friday evening. He returned in that game and scored 28 points. As for the matchup with the Spurs, that’s a little more up in the air.

In the event Curry is eventually deemed unable to return on Thursday, the Warriors next two games are on Friday night in Portland and on Sunday afternoon in Minnesota.

UPDATE: The Warriors have made it official, announcing that Curry will not return against the Spurs.

There is no word on Curry’s status for Friday night’s game against the Trail Blazers.
