The Golden State Warriors have confirmed an injury to star player Stephen Curry.
A statement from the Golden State Warriors has confirmed the severity of the injury suffered by Stephen Curry against the Houston Rockets.

Curry was in clear discomfort early in the game and was taken out after six minutes. The Warriors hung around without their star player but eventually lost 115-108.
The team statement read: “The MRI confirmed that Curry has an oblique abdominal tear. He will be re-evaluated in two (2) weeks.”
Impact of Curry injury
Over the next two weeks the Warriors are scheduled to play six games. The first four are all on the road, beginning with the San Antonio Spurs, who are on a 10-game winning run.
Games against the Pelicans and Kings should be easy wins even without Curry, so if the Warriors can grab one other victory along the way, going 3-3 from this stretch would not be disastrous.
