Jon Barry and Terry Gannon were blissfully unaware of what was happening behind them. Now we all get GIFs! GIFs for everyone!

In 2009, Wardell Stephen Curry II declared for the NBA Draft. Although he was small in stature and lacking classic point guard skills, Curry’s shooting prowess at tiny Davidson College made him a lottery pick in what many considered a shaky draft.

The only question was, where would Curry fall? Let’s review:

• How Bradley Beal broke out

• Watch the Warriors and Pacers brawl

Lee’s agent said that the forward will appeal the suspension, according to Amick.

Hibbert and Lee got into a scuffle following a series of physical jostling for position in the paint with just more than six minutes to play in the game. Teammates of both players came to help -- no players left the bench from either team -- including Curry, who approached Hibbert toward the corner of the court and was shoved aside by the Indiana big man. The scrum occurred at the corner of the floor and pushed its way partially into the Bankers Life Fieldhouse seats as the referees attempted to separate players.

So far, holding onto the big-name veteran has worked out for the Hawks, but not so much for Utah. The Jazz have dropped back-to-back games since the deadline, while Atlanta has won five of six games dating back to the middle of the month.

However, while the Hawks have been winning of late, only one of those wins has been against a good team (Memphis), as SLC Dunk, SB Nation’s Jazz blog, writes.

In a game that was already going to be challenging for New Orleans even with a full deck, the team will now be facing one of the best teams in the league without two of its most important players.

For a team like Denver that’s played so much better at home this year, getting that four seed is likely important for their chances of reaching the second round of the playoffs.

The late game on national television, coverage on ESPN starts at 10:30 p.m. ET.

But if there are suspensions handed down, one would think New York would have little trouble with a Golden State team that has been struggling on the road.

Time and location: 8 p.m. ET at Madison Square Garden
