Injury Details
Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry suffered an oblique abdominal tear and will be out at least two weeks. He left Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets after grabbing at his right side early in the first quarter. An MRI followed the exit, and he will be reevaluated in two weeks.
Games Ahead
Curry is expected to miss at least the next seven games against the San Antonio Spurs, New Orleans Pelicans, Dallas Mavericks, Memphis Grizzlies, Boston Celtics, Sacramento Kings and Portland Trail Blazers. The Warriors fell by seven points after leading 19-10 when he departed, ending an eight-game winning streak. Curry has averaged 27.8 points in 26.3 minutes per game this season while shooting 45.7 percent from three-point range. He has also posted 3.9 assists and 3.7 rebounds per contest.
Team Context
The Warriors sit at 8-4 and are already without starting wings Jimmy Butler III and Moses Moody, who are rehabbing long-term knee injuries. Projected starting center Kristaps Porzingis has stepped away from the team, while backup guard Brandon Williams will miss at least a week with a strained hamstring. The club went 13-26 in the 39 games Curry missed last season and stands 1-1 without him this year. Teammates have noted improved team chemistry and depth from players such as Yaxel Lendeborg and Brandin Podziemski.
