Golden State Warriors point guard Steph Curry suffered an injury early in Wednesday night's clash against the Houston Rockets.
On Thursday, the Warriors announced that Curry would miss at least the next two weeks of NBA action after MRI testing revealed an oblique abdominal tear.
"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 team wrote on social media. "The MRI confirmed that Curry has an oblique abdominal tear. He will be reevaluated in two (2) weeks."

Hours later, ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania revealed an updated timeline for the superstar point guard.

Curry is expected to miss about one month due to this injury.
"I've been told that Stephen Curry is going to be sidelined for closer to one month with this oblique abdominal tear," Charania reported. "The Warriors are going to be evaluating him in about 14 days, and at that point they'll get a better feel for his recovery, how much time he's going to need in his rehab, whether it's going to require three weeks, four weeks or more.
"The Warriors are bracing that this could now be a double-digit sum of games [missed] for Stephen Curry."
Entering last night's game against the Rockets, Curry ranked second in the NBA with 30.6 points per game. The 38-year-old point guard's red-hot start to the 2026-27 season now comes to a screeching halt.
Without Curry, the Warriors will take the court for an NBA Cup group stage matchup against the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night.
