Curry walked gingerly back to the bench and exited the game. He did not return.

Curry has been battling a sore back of late, so much so that head coach Steve Kerr mentioned that he needed to get his star a rest with the postseason looming.
Expect the Warriors to be cautious with Curry with the postseason right around the corner.
