Overview
- MRI results show a right quadriceps contusion and muscle strain for Stephen Curry, with a team reevaluation planned in seven days.
- He is expected to miss roughly a week, which projects to at least the Nov. 29, Dec. 2 and Dec. 4 games, with return timing dependent on his response to treatment.
- Curry was hurt in the Nov. 26 loss to Houston after contact on a Sengün screen and a later collision with Amen Thompson, leaving the game late in the fourth quarter.
- Coach Steve Kerr said the injury alters rotations and usage, while guard Brandin Podziemski emphasized a collective lift during Curry's absence.
- Guard Gary Payton II also twisted his left ankle in the same game, and video of Curry’s injury drew more than 520,000 views on social media.
