Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry has suffered an abdominal muscle tear, dealing a major blow to the team following a 115-108 defeat to the Houston Rockets.
An MRI scan confirmed the injury on Thursday, with the franchise announcing that his condition will be re-evaluated in two weeks. Curry sustained the injury in the first quarter after converting a three-pointer, immediately grabbing his right side in pain before consulting head coach Steve Kerr and heading to the locker room.
Head coach Steve Kerr expressed deep concern after the match, noting that the player felt an unprecedented strain in his abdominal area. The Warriors must now navigate a challenging stretch without their leader, who averages 30.6 points, 4.3 assists, and 4.1 rebounds per game.
During his expected absence, Curry will miss matchups against the San Antonio Spurs, New Orleans Pelicans, Dallas Mavericks, Memphis Grizzlies, and Boston Celtics.
