Steph Curry’s night ended abruptly during the Golden State Warriors’ 115-108 defeat to the Houston Rockets, as the four-time NBA champion exited with right abdominal soreness. The 38-year-old two-time league MVP scored his only basket of the game, a three-pointer with roughly seven and a half minutes remaining in the first quarter. Immediately after the shot, Curry winced, placed his hand on his right side, and walked directly to head coach Steve Kerr before heading to the locker room, failing to return for the remainder of the contest.
Steve Kerr admits uncertainty over Steph Curry’s right-side soreness after MRI is scheduled.
The immediate aftermath raised significant alarm for the Warriors organization. Kerr provided a candid assessment of the situation, noting that Curry reported “tweaking something in his abdominal area” and emphasized that the player had never experienced this specific issue before. “Concern is high, but I have no idea the extent of the injury,” Kerr stated post-match. The Warriors have scheduled an MRI to determine the severity of the damage, leaving fans and analysts waiting for a definitive diagnosis.
This injury complicates the Warriors’ roster depth at a critical juncture, particularly given Curry’s age and the physical demands of the NBA schedule. While the team continues to compete, the absence of their primary offensive engine forces a strategic recalibration. As the league progresses toward the 2026/27 season, where fans can follow the Christmas Day games and NBA Finals on Sky Sports, the Warriors must now navigate the uncertainty surrounding their star’s availability.
