Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry has an oblique abdominal tear and will be reevaluated in two weeks, the team announced Thursday after an MRI.
The injury will keep Curry out at least two weeks, according to the Associated Press. A reevaluation is a medical check, not a guaranteed return date.
Curry left in the first quarter of Wednesday’s game against the Houston Rockets after appearing uncomfortable and holding his right side. Golden State ruled him out for the rest of the game.
Houston won 115–108, ending the Warriors’ eight-game winning streak. Curry scored three points in roughly six minutes before leaving, according to the AP and the San Francisco Chronicle.
The two-week reevaluation window covers at least six scheduled Golden State games, the AP reported. The team has not announced a firm date for Curry to play again.
The Warriors will have to adjust without one of their main scorers while doctors monitor his recovery. The length of an absence can change with the results of that follow-up.
The Warriors’ public-relations account initially said Curry would not return to Wednesday’s game because of abdominal soreness; the team later announced the MRI result.
