Stephen Curry sidelined at least two weeks with abdominal tear
An MRI confirmed an oblique tear for the Golden State Warriors star, who left Wednesday's loss to Houston early in the first quarter.
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry will miss at least two weeks after an MRI showed an oblique abdominal tear, the team announced Thursday, according to Edge Davao.
Curry was hurt during Wednesday's 115-108 defeat to the Houston Rockets. He exited midway through the first quarter after appearing to be in discomfort.
Speaking after the game, Warriors coach Steve Kerr said Curry told him the injury felt unlike anything he had gone through before. "Concern is high," Kerr said. The MRI later confirmed the tear.
The injury comes as the 38-year-old was enjoying a strong season. Curry has been averaging 27.8 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game, and is shooting a career-best 45.7 percent from three-point range. He was a key contributor to an eight-game Warriors winning streak that ended with the loss to Houston.
His absence deepens Golden State's injury problems. Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody are both out as they recover from knee injuries.
Curry, a four-time NBA champion and two-time Most Valuable Player, missed 39 games last season, 27 of them because of a persistent knee injury.
