Stephen Curry's ankle gets broken by Eric Gordon (Oct. 29, 2010)

Steph Curry is hurt, same angle. He went straight down, and he's in a lot of pain. He steps on someone's foot—yep, there it is, same foot, Griffin's. He turned that ankle the same way he did in San Diego against the Lakers last week. Curry hurt it in the second last preseason game last Thursday and re-injured it Wednesday night. That looks like a bad roll.
