Overview

  • The Warriors announced that Stephen Curry left the game in the first quarter and was ruled out for the remainder of the Nov. 11 matchup after grabbing his right side and being examined in the locker room.
  • Golden State’s official injury report for the game listed six players with injuries, with Jimmy Butler, Moses Moody, Gary Payton II, Brandon Williams, and Kristaps Porziņģis ruled out and Will Richard initially listed as questionable.
  • Hours after the game one outlet reported Will Richard had been upgraded to probable despite a reported left thumb UCL tear, while other Warriors absences remained unchanged.
  • The Rockets also arrived short-handed, listing centers Steven Adams and Clint Capela out for the game, which altered the interior matchup for both teams.
  • Curry is averaging about 30.6 points this season, no return timetable has been given, and his absence will increase minutes for younger players and reserves and make the upcoming five-game road trip a much tougher test of the Warriors’ eight-game winning streak.
