Curry exits Game 4, then returns after frightening fall

HOUSTON — After a scary fall, Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry suffered a head contusion in the first half of Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals.

Curry, this year's NBA MVP, was attempting to block a shot from Rockets forward Trevor Ariza. When Ariza stopped short, Curry went over Ariza's head and fell to the ground.

After a short time on the floor, Curry walked to the lockerroom. He had a quick X-ray, before going into the visitors locker room with general manager Bob Myers and his father Dell walking in with him.

He was listed as questionable for the second half but returned in the third quarter.
