MRI confirms abdominal tear

Curry exited Golden State’s November 11 matchup against the Houston Rockets during the first quarter after experiencing right-side abdominal soreness. He did not return to the game and underwent an MRI later that night.

The Warriors confirmed the MRI showed an oblique abdominal tear. The team has not announced a return date; Curry is scheduled to be reevaluated in two weeks.

Warriors lose to Houston

Golden State fell to Houston, 115–108, ending the Warriors’ eight-game winning streak. Curry played just over six minutes before leaving the contest.

Before the injury, Curry had appeared in all 10 of the team’s games, averaging 27.8 points, 3.9 assists and 3.7 rebounds per contest, according to the Warriors’ official update.

His absence could be a major challenge for Golden State as the team looks to maintain its early-season momentum. The next update is expected after his two-week reevaluation.

The Shade Wire will continue following Curry’s recovery and the Warriors’ next moves.
