Golden State Warriors and NBA fans all let a collective sigh of relief when superstar Stephen Curry returned to the court Saturday night moments after he left with an apparent ankle injury.
Curry, whose Golden State Warriors were taking on the Oklahoma City Thunder in a heavyweight basketball clash, was driving to the basket during the third quarter when he decided to dump the ball off to Harrison Barnes instead. And while he completed the pass, he proceeded to fall awkwardly on his left ankle.

He went to the locker room after the injury, and while he walked off under his own power, it still was a scary sight.

But his hiatus from the crucial Western Conference game didn’t last long, and he quickly got back to doing ridiculous Steph Curry things.
