Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry will miss at least two weeks after an MRI confirmed an oblique abdominal tear, according to the team’s injury update.
Curry sustained the injury during the Warriors’ game against the Houston Rockets. He left the contest after experiencing discomfort on his right side and was later sent for further evaluation.
Warriors confirm Curry’s injury
The Warriors said the MRI showed an oblique abdominal tear. The team plans to re-evaluate Curry in two weeks, meaning his exact return date remains uncertain.
The injury affects one of Golden State’s most important players. Curry is the team’s primary scoring threat and playmaker, and his absence could alter the Warriors’ rotation during the coming games.
What the injury means for Golden State
Without Curry, Golden State will need greater production from its other guards and forwards. The team may also rely more heavily on ball movement, defensive pressure and collective scoring while its leading scorer recovers.
Coach Steve Kerr and the medical staff are expected to manage Curry’s recovery carefully. A two-week re-evaluation does not automatically guarantee an immediate return; Curry’s availability will depend on his symptoms, medical progress and basketball conditioning.
Curry’s season interrupted
Curry had started all 10 of his appearances before the injury, according to reports. His absence creates an early challenge for a Warriors team that depends on his shooting, leadership and ability to create opportunities for teammates.
Fans will now wait for the next official update from the Warriors. Until then, no firm comeback date has been announced.
