Stephen Curry exits vs. Rockets, ruled out with abdominal soreness
HOUSTON -- Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry was ruled out of Wednesday's game in Houston after injuring his right abdomen in the first quarter. Curry started grabbing at his side a few minutes into the game, attempting to play through the pain while sporadically looking over at the training staff.
With 7:22 left in the first quarter, Curry came off a Draymond Green screen and nailed a 28-foot 3 but yelled in pain after the release and signaled toward the bench.
The Warriors called timeout a couple of possessions later and Curry, after a brief conversation with Warriors coach Steve Kerr, went to the locker room in obvious discomfort followed by Drew Yoder, a key member of the team's medical staff.
Curry remained in the locker room getting checked out to close the first quarter before the team officially ruled him out with right abdominal soreness early in the second quarter.
The Warriors were down 19-10 when Curry exited. After opening the season 0-3, they entered the night on an eight-game win streak, spurred by a surge from Curry, who is averaging 30.6 points in 28.6 minutes per game.
The Warriors next play the Spurs in San Antonio on Friday night.br/]
