Stephen Curry Injury: Warriors Star to Miss at Least Two Weeks with Oblique Tear
An MRI confirmed the tear, and the Warriors said Curry’s absence could last beyond the two-week re-evaluation point.
An MRI on Thursday confirmed an oblique abdominal tear for Curry, and the Warriors announced the star will be re-evaluated in two weeks, though his absence could extend beyond that timetable.
Curry appeared to sustain the injury halfway through the first quarter while tangled with Alperen Sengun; moments later, he hit his lone 3-pointer before exiting and never returning.
Concern about the injury was "high," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said, adding that Curry "tweaked something in his abdominal area" and had never experienced this specific issue before.
Already missing Jimmy Butler, Kristaps PorziF, Brandon Williams, Gary Payton, and Will Richard, the Warriors have little margin for error despite opening the season with an 8-4 record.
Two years ago, the Orlando Magic lost both Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero to oblique tears, a scenario that would prove disastrous for Golden State if Curry faces an extended absence.
