Stephen Curry will be sidelined for at least two weeks because of an oblique abdominal tear sustained in the Golden State Warriors' 115-108 loss to the Houston Rockets on Wednesday.

The Warriors announced Thursday that an MRI revealed the severity of the injury, and that Curry will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

Curry, 38, was in obvious pain when he exited midway through the first quarter of Wednesday's loss that snapped an eight-game winning streak. With the defeat, the Warriors (8-4) also dropped to 1-2 in games Curry doesn't play or finish.

Prior to his injury, the 18-year veteran was enjoying a career renaissance, averaging 34.0 points while shooting 47.2 per cent from 3-point range over a six-game stretch. On the season, he's shooting a career-best 45.7 per cent on 3-pointers and has astonishingly missed just one free throw on 76 attempts, which converts to 98.7 per cent.

 

INJURY UPDATE: Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry, who exited last night’s game at Houston with 6:25 remaining in the first quarter due to injury, underwent an MRI last night. The MRI confirmed that Curry has an oblique abdominal tear. He will be reevaluated in two (2) weeks.
