Steph Curry returned Sunday after missing the past two games with an ankle injury, but the Golden State Warriors star might have suffered another injury.

At the end of the first half against the Rockets, the reigning MVP slipped on an apparent wet spot on the floor while defending Trevor Ariza's last-second heave.

The Warriors announced that Curry suffered a sprained right knee and will not return to Game 4. He is scheduled to have an MRI on Monday.

Curry had six points on 2-of-9 shooting from the floor. He went just 1 of 7 from beyond the arc. The score was tied at 56 at the half.

Curry tried to test it before the start of the second half but returned to the locker room to get more treatment. Shawn Livingston started in Curry's place.
