he is facedown lying on the ground for a while. he did get up after a few minutes heading to the x-ray room at medical professionals ran tests on him. they diagnosed curry not with a concussion but with a head contusion. >> like i was in the air for a long time and trying to brace yourself. and, you know, once i hit the ground kind of hear voices from trainers and people just kind of telling me to take my time and not rush it, not rush yourself getting up. >> now, here's curry returning to the court after about an hour and he's now being -- his parents, family and wife were in the stand holding their breath. a huge moment walking back appearing to be okay. not a good night for the warriors who fell 115-127 in game four. back here at oracle tomorrow night for game five but good just to see curry walking around and seemingly okay.
