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.

It was a near perfect start of what will be a brief farewell tour for Pochettino, who has agreed to become the head coach of Manchester United after two years coaching the U.S. Just three months after announcing a contract to lead the Americans through the 2030 World Cup, the U.S. Soccer Federation said Pochettino will depart next week for Old Trafford.
