After missing Game 2 between the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets, Stephen Curry will sit out again tonight and miss Game 3. Warriors beat writer Diamond Leung reported it first on Twitter.
Curry left Game 1 in the second half with an ankle sprain, and was unable to return. He has since done some light shooting and participated in practice, but has not been able to scrimmage. Head coach Steve Kerr called it an “easy decision” to sit Curry out after his four days of inactivity.
Stephen Curry wanted to play. Steve Kerr called it "easy decision" to not make "irresponsible" call to play him after 4 days of inactivity.

Curry’s next change to play will be Sunday for Game 4 of the Warriors-Rockets series. If Golden State can beat Houston tonight for Game 3, Stephen Curry can return to help the Warriors try and sweep the Rockets and advance to the second round.
