MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) – Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors reportedly suffered a head contusion in Game 4 of the NBA 2015 Western Conference Finals against the Houston Rockets on Tuesday, May 26 (Monday, May 25 in the US) at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.

The reigning league MVP fell head first on the hardwood after trying to block a shot from Trevor Ariza at the 5:52 mark of the second period as the Warriors worked to overturn a 25-point deficit.

Curry, 27, was unable to get up for several minutes as the entire arena fell silent. He managed to get up and walk to the locker room but with some assistance from the coaching staff.

The initial diagnosis was a head contusion, per the sideline report. Curry tallied 11 points including 3-of-7 3-point shooting in 13 minutes of action.

Curry’s backcourt partner Klay Thompson took over right after and scored all of 16 points in the second to bring the Warriors to within 69-59 at the half.

After a series of tests, Curry reportedly showed no signs of a concussion and returned to the game in the third quarter.

Golden State leads the series 3-0.
