With a win over the Chicago Bulls in their last matchup, the Golden State Warriors finally made their way into the eighth position in the Western Conference. But that is still far from what the Warriors had in mind for the start of the season. Looking to move up the ladder, the Warriors faced the rebuilding Houston Rockets, and one Stephen Curry play had Warriors fans gasping for fresh air.

Even though the team hasn’t had the start they had hoped for, it is at least a relief to see Klay Thompson back in his groove. Thompson had an excellent 26-point game in their win over the Bulls. But the latest ordeal regarding Curry may be a point of concern.

Stephen Curry with a scary collision

However, the team might’ve had to finish the matchup without their leading scorer as he met with a collision while driving to the rim. Curry landed awkwardly, hobbling after what appeared to be his left foot or ankle taking a hit. 

As Curry drove to the rim for a layup, Rockets center Alperen Sengun tried to chase him down for a block. Unfortunately, he ended up landing one of his feet onto Curry’s left ankle. After which Curry went wobbling down the court on one leg.
