Warriors star Stephen Curry leaves game vs. Rockets early with apparent abdominal injury
Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry left their matchup with the Houston Rockets early on Wednesday night with an apparent abdominal injury.
Key points
- Curry was spotted reaching for his side after drilling a 3-pointer in the opening minutes of the game, and he seemed frustrated about it, but he wasn’t touched and remained in the game at the time.
- Curry suddenly walked off the floor during a timeout and went directly back to the locker room at the Toyota Center with a trainer midway through the first quarter of the contest.

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 on in the opening stretch of the season.
Stephen Curry headed to the locker room with an apparent right hip injury.
Additional details
- 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.
- Curry also spoke out on social media earlier on Wednesday and defended his wife, Ayesha, after criticism about her new movie.
- The team then ruled him out at the start of the second quarter with what they called right abdominal soreness.
- Curry finished the night with three points and a turnover in the six minutes he was on the floor.
- 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 sparked the issue.
