Quick Summary

Stephen Curry left the Golden State Warriors' game against the Houston Rockets with an abdominal injury, causing the Warriors' eight-game winning streak to end with a 115-108 loss. Coach Steve Kerr stated that Curry's condition is a concern but the extent of the injury is still unknown as of the time of the game. Curry's absence is particularly troubling given his MVP-level performance this season, despite limited playing time, and the Warriors' thin backup options for point guard.

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.

The 49ers could be without All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams and stalwart linebacker Dre Greenlaw after both players suffered injuries in practice this week.
If he was trying to play, he wouldn’t do that.
“I just saw him holding his side and tried to get him out as quickly as I could.”
… “Maybe he sensed it.
Hosting the Suns, again coming off a game the previous night, Golden State set things up to make sure its two veteran stars would be available for the rematch.
Austin Reaves got to the foul line on the Lakers’ first possession of the second quarter, extending their advantage to 25 points, 40-15, and that’s as wide as it would get.
Will Richard freed up Curry with a hard screen of Matisse Thybulle about four minutes into the fourth quarter, Curry received a pass from Draymond Green and buried a wide-open triple. The bucket was Curry’s eighth 3-pointer of the night and was good for his 25th, 26th and 27th points.
So, you could say they’re making progress, at least.
Curry finished with 44, and the Warriors needed every last one of them to hold off the Timberwolves, despite Golden State pulling ahead by 24 after halftime and Minnesota playing its first game since Anthony Edwards learned he would require knee surgery.
It appeared that a game that began without Edwards could end with Curry sitting on the bench, comfortably resting after building a big lead.
