at least two weeks
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) --- Stephen Curry will miss at least two weeks for the
Golden State Warriors because of a torn oblique muscle, an injury that comes
with the NBA's all-time 3-point leader on pace for one of the best seasons of
his 18-year career.
The Warriors announced Thursday that the 38-year-old Curry would be reevaluated
in two weeks for the abdominal tear. An MRI exam revealed the injury, and it is
something that can take longer to heal. Coach Steve Kerr called the concern
level "high."
Curry left early in Golden State's loss at Houston on Wednesday night that
ended an eight-game winning streak. He was in obvious discomfort, grabbing at
his right side above the hip.
The two-week timetable means Curry will miss at least six games, starting with
a matchup at San Antonio on Friday.
He is scoring 27.8 points in 10 games this season, his average plummeting after
he scored only three points in 5 1/2 minutes on Wednesday. Curry is making
45.7% of his 3-point tries so far this season; if that continues, it would be
the highest percentage of his career.
The Warriors are off to an 8-4 start but are 1-2 in games where Curry either
doesn't play or has to leave early because of injury.
