Key points
- Stephen Curry will be re-evaluated in two weeks after suffering an oblique abdominal tear.
- The injury occurred early in a loss to Houston that snapped Golden State's eight-game winning streak.
- Curry is averaging 27.8 points per game in his 18th NBA season.
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry will be re-evaluated in two weeks after an MRI revealed an oblique abdominal tear, the team announced Thursday. The 38-year-old star sustained the injury early in Wednesday's loss to the Houston Rockets, exiting after playing just six minutes.
The play occurred in the first quarter when Rockets center Alperen Şengün grabbed and twisted Curry's arm as he set a screen for Draymond Green. Curry briefly remained in the contest, sinking a 3-pointer before signaling to the bench and heading to the locker room. Golden State fell to 8-4 with the loss, which snapped an eight-game winning streak.
The upcoming stretch without Curry will test Golden State's depth in a crowded Western Conference, where the team currently sits tied for sixth place. Curry has been stellar in his 18th NBA season, averaging 27.8 points over 10 games while playing just 26.3 minutes per night.
Golden State has historically struggled to sustain success without their offensive cornerstone. Last season, the Warriors stumbled to a 13-26 record during the 39 games Curry missed due to knee injuries. Head coach Steve Kerr noted that Curry mentioned tweaking an area he had never injured before.
What to watch next: The Warriors begin a key stretch without Curry, with their next roster adjustments serving as an immediate test before his formal re-evaluation in two weeks.
