Golden State’s Curry out for Game 3 against Houston Rockets

Golden State's Stephen Curry will miss Game 3 of a first-round playoff series against the Houston Rockets on Thursday night because of a sprained right ankle. Coach Steve Kerr said that Curry wanted to go on Thursday, but that it was an easy decision to sit him again after they weighed the pros and cons of him playing. ''Without having done anything for four days, no conditioning, no rhythm, no actual live contact, it would have been irresponsible, I think, to put him out there,'' Kerr said.
