Golden State's Curry sits out again as Warriors look to bounce back against Rockets 

HOUSTON — Golden State's Stephen Curry is out for the second straight game Thursday night (Friday, Manila time) against Houston with a bruised lower left leg.

Curry was injured Monday night (Tuesday, Manila time) against Sacramento and sat out Wednesday night (Thursday, Manila time) at Dallas when the Warriors lost for just the second time this season, 114-91 to the Mavericks.

Interim coach Luke Walton said Curry was feeling better Thursday, but that he was not ready to play. Before he sat out Wednesday, last season's MVP hadn't missed a game since March 13.

The Warriors are off Friday (Saturday, Manila time) before hosting Denver on Saturday (Sunday, Manila time).
