Warriors star Stephen Curry leaves game vs. Rockets with abdominal injury

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry left their matchup with the Houston Rockets early on Wednesday night with an apparent abdominal injury.

Curry suddenly walked off the floor during a timeout and went directly to the locker room at the Toyota Center with a trainer midway through the first quarter. His right hip and side looked like it was bothering him on the previous few plays before the timeout was called, but it was unclear what caused the injury.

Curry was spotted reaching for his side after drilling a 3-pointer in the opening minutes, and he seemed frustrated about it, but he wasn’t touched and remained in the game at the time.

Curry stayed back in the locker room for the rest of the opening period. The team then ruled him out at the start of the second quarter with what they called right abdominal soreness. Further specifics are not yet known.

Curry finished the night with three points and a turnover in the six minutes he was on the floor. The 38-year-old entered the night averaging 30.6 points, 4.3 assists and 4.1 rebounds per game this season, his 18th in the league.

The Warriors came into Wednesday’s game in Houston with an 8-3 record. They’ve won eight straight games after losing three in a row to open the season. While Curry’s injury doesn’t appear to be too severe, an extended absence would undoubtedly make things much more difficult for the Warriors as they continue the opening stretch of the season.

Earlier Wednesday, Curry spoke out on social media and defended his wife, Ayesha, after criticism about her new movie.

This post will be updated with more information shortly.
