Stephen Curry injury Warriors vs Rockets, Digi Mart USA News: Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry is dealing with an apparent injury after leaving Wednesday’s game against the Houston Rockets in the first quarter.
Curry was holding his right side as he went to the locker room. He was ruled out for the remainder of the contest due to right abdominal soreness.
The injury comes amid an 8-3 start to the season for the Warriors. Curry is averaging 30.6 points, 4.3 assists and 4.1 rebounds per game so far.
Curry, 38, had back-to-back seasons with 70-plus games played, but he managed to play in just 43 games last season because of a lingering knee issue. In his 17th NBA season, he averaged 26.6 points, 4.7 assists and 3.6 rebounds per game as the Warriors missed the playoffs.
He hoped to enter his 18th season fully healthy, but he suffered a right ankle sprain in practice on Oct. 18, less than a week before the Warriors began the 2026-27 campaign. He was ready to go for the start of the season.
He has missed two of the Warriors’ first 11 games, though it was only for the purpose of getting him rest amid back-to-back games.
Injuries have been a recurring issue for Golden State over the last few years. Along with Curry missing almost half of the 2025-26 campaign, Jimmy Butler played just 38 games before suffering a season-ending torn ACL in January.
When healthy, the Warriors have the talent to make a playoff run, but given the aging stars on their roster, avoiding injuries may be an issue again this year.
