Curry Exits in First Quarter With Abdominal Injury for MRI as Warriors Fall 115-108 to Rockets, Ending Eight-Game Win Streak
Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry left Wednesday night's game at Houston in the first quarter with right abdominal soreness and did not return, as the Warriors fell 115-108 to the Rockets, ending their eight-game winning streak.
Curry made a three-pointer with 6:25 left in the first quarter, then grabbed his right side, walked straight to coach Steve Kerr and headed to the locker room with a trainer. He finished with 3 points in under six minutes. Golden State ruled him out early in the second quarter, and he left the arena during the second half to undergo an MRI. The results had not been announced after the game.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr said Curry told him he tweaked something in his abdominal area and had never felt anything like it before. Asked about his level of concern, Kerr said: "I mean, concern is high, but I have no idea the extent of the injury."
Houston led 35-20 after the first quarter and held on. Kevin Durant scored 20 points for the Rockets, Alperen Sengun had 19 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists, and Amen Thompson added 19 points and seven rebounds. Rookie Yaxel Lendeborg led Golden State with 25 points and 10 rebounds, and Brandin Podziemski scored 22.
The Warriors' next game is an NBA Cup group game at San Antonio on Friday, November 13, and Curry's availability will depend on the MRI results.
