Warriors announce severity of Stephen Curry’s injury, confirming Steve Kerr’s ‘high’ concern

Golden State Warriors say Stephen Curry has a tear in his oblique and will be reassessed in two weeks, confirming coach Steve Kerr’s concern after Curry left Wednesday’s game in pain. His absence could significantly affect the team: the Warriors went 13-26 in the 39 games he missed last season.

Curry was averaging 30.6 points per game, the NBA’s second-highest total, and shooting 45.7% from three-point range, a career best. He was injured after making a first-quarter three-pointer against Houston, who went on to win 115-108 and end Golden State’s eight-game winning run.
