The brief
Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry exited Wednesday night's game against the Houston Rockets in the first quarter holding his right side and was ruled out for the remainder of the contest with what the team initially called right abdominal soreness. AP News reported Curry exited vs. Rockets with abdominal soreness and that Steve Kerr said 'concern is high.'
Curry, 38, had been off to a strong start in his 18th NBA season, averaging 30.6 points, 4.3 assists and 4.1 rebounds per game through the Warriors' 8-3 start, according to Bleacher Report. He had missed only two of the first 11 games, both for rest on back-to-backs. Curry played 70-plus games in each of the previous two seasons but appeared in just 43 games last season because of a lingering knee issue. He also suffered a right ankle sprain in practice on Oct. 18, less than a week before the season opener, but was ready for the start of the campaign.
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said after the game that Curry left to have an MRI and that 'concern is high' regarding the injury, according to AP News and NBC Sports Bay Area. The injury compounds a recent run of health issues for Golden State; Jimmy Butler played just 38 games last season before a season-ending torn ACL in January, Bleacher Report noted.
