An MRI confirmed that the star guard suffered an oblique abdominal tear and that he’ll be re-evaluated in two weeks, the team announced on social media on Thursday.

Curry suffered the injury in Golden State’s loss to the Houston Rockets on Wednesday. He exited the game midway through the first quarter — following his only made shot — and was seen holding the right side of his upper body as he was in visible discomfort. It’s unclear when exactly the injury occurred, but Curry was seen starting to hold on to his right hip area earlier in the opening frame after getting tangled up with Rockets forward Alperen Sengun when setting an on-ball screen.

The two-time MVP had been on a torrid pace to start the season, averaging 27.8 points, 3.9 assists and 3.7 rebounds in Year 18, all while shooting 45.7 per cent from beyond the arc. His strong play had Curry well within the early names in consideration for MVP as he led the resurgent Warriors past a 0-3 start and into an eight-game win streak before Wednesday’s loss.

The Curry-less Warriors return to action on Friday with a matchup against Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs.
