During the second quarter of Monday night’s Game 4 between the Rockets and Warriors, Stephen Curry jumped high to block Trevor Ariza, who inadvertently undercut Curry on a head-fake. Steph was sent sprawling to the court and landed awkwardly on his shoulder and head.
Steph spent a long time lying prostrate facing the court before ESPN cut to commercial. Curry’s mother was imploring him to get up, and so was everyone watching.
By the time they came back from commercial, he was headed to the locker room and the classy Houston crowd was giving him a nice applause.
He was taken into the back for X-rays, and Doris Burke let the viewers know that he had suffered a contusion and his return was questionable.
Warriors say Curry has a head contusion, return for tonight is questionable. Shoulder is fine.

He was also captured walking around with GM Bob Myers.
UPDATE:
A few things to keep in mind. If he is diagnosed with a concussion, it would not be the first time at this level.
If Curry is diagnosed with a concussion, it will be at least his second since being drafted by the #Warriors.

Also, he didn’t come back onto the court after halftime despite his teammates helping to turn a 25-point deficit into 10 by half.
Curry is not on the floor for halftime warmups.

This is good news though.
Stephen Curry's mom is high-fiving the rest of the family here in the stands. Lead cut to 10 by halftime–and Steph might be coming back.
