Curry Ruled Out Against Rockets With Abdominal Soreness

Stephen Curry left the Golden State Warriors’ game against the Houston Rockets in the first quarter Wednesday with right abdominal soreness, and the team ruled him out for the rest of the contest. Golden State lost 115-108 in Houston, ending an eight-game winning streak, according to reports on the game.

Curry played about six minutes and scored three points before exiting. He made a three-pointer, then appeared to reach toward his right side as he returned on defense. He continued briefly before the Warriors called a timeout and sent Brandin Podziemski in. Curry then went to the locker room with a team trainer.

The Warriors identified the issue as right abdominal soreness after examining him. The team had not announced a recovery timeline or provided details about imaging. A further update was expected after Curry was reevaluated ahead of Friday’s scheduled game against the San Antonio Spurs.

Coach Steve Kerr said Curry had tweaked an area of his abdomen he had not injured before. Kerr also said he did not know the extent of the injury. Those comments were relayed by a reporter; the team’s designation did not provide a diagnosis beyond soreness.
