Stephen Curry Exited Game Early in Loss to the Houston Rockets
After the team got off to a 0-3 start the future was looking bleak. However, they turned their fortunes around and went on an 8-game winning streak. That streak came to an end last night. And to make matters worse, Stephen Curry exited the game early in a loss to the Houston Rockets. However, his other teammates stepped up to the challenge and kept themselves in the game. Unfortunately, their efforts fell short in the 115-108 loss.
Initially Curry was reported as having a hip injury. But after head coach Steve Kerr spoke the injury designation was changed. The injury took place about halfway through the first quarter. Curry made a three-point shot, his only points of the night, then immediately went over to Kerr. He walked gingerly to the locker room holding his right side.
“He said he tweaked something in his abdominal area and said he’s never done it before,” Kerr said. Kerr added that Curry left the arena in the second half to get an MRI but that the team hadn’t yet received any information from the imaging. Kerr was asked what his level of concern about Curry’s condition was. “I mean, concern is high, but I have no idea the extent of the injury,” he said.
Saying concern is high does not bode well but we’ll have to wait for more details. And of course, Curry is not the only injured Warrior. Gui Santos is in and out with left knee tendinitis, Will Richard is dealing with a thumb injury, and Draymond Green is day-to-day with right elbow inflammation. Then there are the players with long term absences such as Jimmy Butler, Moses Moody and Kristaps Porzingis.

Despite the injuries, they have rookie Yaxel Lendeborg. On November 1 in a 124–112 win over the Los Angeles Clippers with Curry and Green sidelined again, Lendeborg put up a career-high 37 points. The most by a Warrior rookie since Curry posted 42 on April 14, 2010.
They also have Al Horford with his twenty years of NBA experience. Let’s hope that the blowback from his wife’s kissing another man in a movie does not affect him mentally as well. Otherwise, the Warriors might be headed for another losing streak.
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.
