Curry Sidelined With Abdominal Injury
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry has suffered an oblique abdominal tear. The team announced on Thursday that the star player will be out of action and re-evaluated in two weeks.
Curry sustained the injury during Wednesday's defeat against the Houston Rockets. He left the court with 6:25 remaining in the first quarter and later underwent an MRI to determine the extent of the damage.
Sequence Of Events In Houston Game
Curry started grabbing at his right side just a few minutes into the game. He attempted to keep playing through the pain, sporadically looking over at the team's training staff on the sideline.
With 7:22 left in the first quarter, Curry came off a Draymond Green screen to sink a 28 foot 3 point shot. Immediately after the release, he yelled out in pain and signaled toward the bench for help. Coach Steve Kerr stated that Curry told him the side tweak was an injury he had never experienced before.
Growing List Of Absentees
This injury is the latest major setback for a Golden State roster that is already light on players. Key contributors are missing from the lineup across multiple positions.
Starting wings Jimmy Butler III and Moses Moody remain out as they rehab long term knee injuries. Backup guard Brandon Williams also strained a hamstring and will miss at least a week of play. On top of that, projected starting center Kristaps Porzingis stepped away from the team and the sport completely.
Record Without Their Star Guard
Curry has put up strong numbers this season, averaging 27.8 points, 3.9 assists, and 3.7 rebounds per game. Managing without him will be a challenge for Golden State.
The Warriors hold a 1-1 record without Curry so far this season. However, history shows how much they depend on him. During the previous season, the Warriors recorded 13 wins and 26 losses in the 39 games Curry missed.
