Stephen Curry Exits Warriors-Rockets Game With Abdominal Soreness
Stephen Curry exited Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets due to right abdominal soreness, the Golden State Warriors announced. He played just six minutes before being ruled out for the remainder of the game.
Curry appeared to suffer the injury when he made a three-pointer in the first quarter. At the next break in action, he went to the locker room favouring his right hip.
Now in his 18th NBA season, the 38-year-old Curry came into Wednesday's game averaging 30.6 points per game while shooting 45.7 per cent from beyond the arc. His play is a big reason why the Warriors are on an eight-game win streak after dropping their first three games of the season.
Curry, 38, had back-to-back seasons with 70-plus games played, but he managed to play in just 43 games last season because of a lingering knee issue. He suffered a right ankle sprain in practice on Oct. 18, less than a week before the Warriors began the 2026-27 campaign, but was ready for the start of the season. He has missed two of the Warriors' first 11 games for rest amid back-to-back games.
Along with Curry missing almost half of the 2025-26 campaign, Jimmy Butler played just 38 games before suffering a season-ending torn ACL in January.
