The Golden State Warriors’ NBA Cup matchup tonight against the Houston Rockets took a sudden turn when superstar Stephen Curry exited the game, heading to the locker room late in the fourth. It immediately raised concern for the 37-year-old guard, who rarely shows visible discomfort.

Even the broadcast noticed it. As Curry went to shoot free throws, ESPN’s Tim Legler noticed his state, commenting, “ Steph Curry is just limping. And it’s getting more pronounced here over the last couple of minutes. Not exactly sure what’s bothering him, but he’s completely changed his gait. He is definitely in some duress out there .”

The injury occurred earlier, when Houston guard Reed Sheppard drove past Curry, with Alperen Sengun screening him off. As Curry got caught on the screen, he stumbled, was seen limping afterwards. Later, during a timeout, the Warriors star faced difficulty sitting down, and was escorted to the locker room by Rick Celebrini, director of sports medicine for the Warriors.
