Overview
- Stephen Curry left the Houston game in the first quarter clutching his right side and was officially ruled out for the remainder with right abdominal soreness.
- Coach Steve Kerr said concern is high and that Curry left the arena during the second half to undergo an MRI, with results not yet released.
- The Rockets beat Golden State 115-108 on Wednesday, ending the Warriors' eight-game winning streak while Curry played about six minutes and scored three points.
- Golden State was already thin on depth because multiple rotation players were out or questionable, and rookies Yaxel Lendeborg and Brandin Podziemski stepped up with 25 and 22 points respectively.
- Curry is 38 and has been on minutes management after recent knee trouble, so medical findings will shape short-term lineups and the team's plan for the tough road stretch including Friday's Spurs game.
