Curry Returns with 27 Points, Develops Foot/Ankle Issue in Win

Stephen Curry returned from right patellofemoral inflammation to lead the Warriors with 27 points (7-14 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 2 assists, 2 steals, and 1 rebound in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 140-124 win over the Jazz. He had been cleared for the game after missing Monday's contest.
