Stephen Curry exits with injury in Warriors’ loss to Rockets: ‘Concern is high’

Something was bound to bring an end to the Warriors’ winning streak at some point. It just so happened to be snapped at eight games in the worst possible way Wednesday night.

Stephen Curry left Golden State’s 115-108 loss to the Rockets in Houston with what the team is terming an abdominal injury.
