Overview
- Curry exited the Rockets game after about six minutes with right abdominal soreness and an MRI on Thursday confirmed an oblique (abdominal) tear.
- The Warriors announced a formal re‑evaluation in two weeks while league insiders have projected a likely absence closer to two to four weeks.
- Golden State’s 115-108 loss in Houston ended an eight‑game winning streak and required rookies and backups to shoulder scoring duties during the game.
- With several rotation players already unavailable, coach Steve Kerr has turned to Yaxel Lendeborg and Brandin Podziemski to replace Curry’s scoring and ball‑handling.
- Curry’s age and recent history of managed minutes make the team cautious about a return, and the injury could affect upcoming matchups including Friday’s game against the Spurs.
