Curry stayed on the bench, stretched his foot with a rubber band and returned to the game with 8:08 left in the fourth quarter.
But on the first possession, Curry aggravated the injury and limped to the Warriors locker room with 7:55 left in regulation.
Curry finished the game with 18 points on 6-of-11 shooting from the field and 4-of-7 from 3-point range in 27 minutes of action. He added six assists and four rebounds.

The Warriors can only hope that Curry’s latest ankle injury isn’t as serious as it seemed.
