Stephen Curry, who has been averaging over 30 points in just 28 minutes per game, during the Warriors’ eight-game winning run was ruled out of Wednesday night’s matchup against the Houston Rockets.
The Golden State Warriors point guard suffered soreness in his right abdomen in the first quarter.
Curry started grabbing at his side a few minutes into the play, attempting to play through the pain while looking over at the training staff from time to time.
At the 7:22 mark of the first quarter, Curry came off a screen from Draymond Green’s pick and knocked down a 28-foot 3-pointer but screamed in pain after the release and headed toward the bench.
The Warriors took time out a couple of possessions later, and Curry after a brief talk with Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, went to the locker room in apparent discomfort.
Curry remained in the locker room getting checked out to close the first quarter before the team officially declared him unavailable with right abdominal soreness early in the second quarter.
The Warriors were down 19-10 when Curry left the court.
After opening the season 0-3, they entered the night on an eight-game winning run, fuelled by a surge from Curry who is averaging 30.6 points in just 28.6 minutes per game.
But on Wednesday night, the Rockets ended their eight-game winning streak after a 115-108 win.
The Warriors will face the Spurs in San Antonio on Friday, November 13, 2026.
Earlier on Wednesday, November 11, the 38-year-old Warriors point guard took to social media and addressed the controversy, defending his wife, Ayesha, after criticism about her new movie, Second Chance Holiday which was released on November 5, 2026.
