Stephen Curry Injured in Golden State Warriors Game Against Rockets

Early Exit in Houston

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry suffered an injury setback during his team's game against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night. The star point guard was ruled out early in the match after picking up a right abdominal issue during the first quarter.

Curry started showing signs of pain just a few minutes into the contest. He was seen grabbing at his side on the court while attempting to fight through the pain. Throughout those early minutes, he repeatedly glanced over at the Golden State training staff on the sidelines.

Pain After a Big Shot

With 7:22 left on the clock in the first quarter, Curry used a screen from teammate Draymond Green to set up a shot. He successfully hit a 28 foot three point basket, but immediately showed signs of distress. After making the shot, he yelled out in pain and signaled toward his team's bench for assistance.

The Warriors called a timeout a couple of possessions later to attend to their star player. Curry had a brief conversation with Warriors head coach Steve Kerr before walking back to the locker room in obvious discomfort. Drew Yoder, a key member of the team's medical staff, followed Curry inside to give him immediate medical care.

Official Rule Out and Future Fixture

Curry remained in the locker room while the medical staff checked his condition to close out the first quarter. Early in the second quarter, the team officially confirmed that Curry would not return, citing right abdominal soreness as the reason.

At the moment Curry left the floor, Golden State was trailing Houston 19-10. The Warriors had started their season with a 0-3 record, but they entered this game on an eight game win streak.

Curry has been a huge part of that recent success, averaging 30.6 points in 28.6 minutes per game. The Warriors will now turn their focus to their next match when they play the Spurs in San Antonio on Friday night.
