Quick Summary

Stephen Curry left Wednesday night’s game between the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets early due to right abdominal soreness and was subsequently ruled out for the remainder of the game. Curry experienced discomfort after making a 3-pointer near the end of the first quarter and walked gingerly while holding his right side as he headed to the locker room. The absence of Curry, who has been the team’s leading scorer in six of the last eight games, could significantly impact the Warriors, who have won eight straight games following an initial 0-3 start.

Story summary

Stephen Curry, the NBA's all-time leading 3-point shooter and a key player for the Golden State Warriors, suffered a torn oblique muscle during Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. The injury forced Curry to leave the game early and he will now be sidelined for at least two weeks. The Warriors announced on Thursday that Curry will be reevaluated in two weeks after an MRI confirmed the injury. This development ends an impressive streak for Curry, who had averaged 27.8 points, 3.9 assists, and 3.7 rebounds while shooting 50% from the field and 45.7% from 3-point range in the first 10 games of the season. The injury also interrupts the Warriors' eight-game winning streak, and they face a 1-2 record in games where Curry either does not play or leaves early due to injury. Coach Steve Kerr expressed a "high" level of concern over the injury's severity, as the oblique tear can take longer to heal and had a significant impact on the team's performance last year when Curry was sidelined for 39 games.
