Curry's night ends early vs. Hawks after tweaking right ankle
Stephen Curry sat out the entire fourth quarter of Friday's contest between the Golden State Warriors and Atlanta Hawks with what the team is deeming a "tweaked right ankle." According to ESPN's Chris Haynes, Curry received the rest of the game off as a precautionary measure.
Curry initially injured himself in the opening frame when he rolled his ankle after stepping on teammate Zaza Pachulia's foot while trying to defend a layup by Hawks guard Isaiah Taylor.

Though he later headed to the locker room with trainers, Curry eventually returned to the game and still went on to play a total of 24 minutes.
The 29-year-old finished his night with 28 points on 8-of-15 shooting (4-of-9 from beyond the arc), three assists, two steals, and one rebound.
