Warriors Rocked by Major Stephen Curry Injury News After 8-4 Start

Stephen Curry injury update: MRI results upend the Warriors’ November plans and push a rookie into the spotlight.

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry suffered an "oblique abdominal tear," rendering him unavailable for at least six games. The team reassessed his condition after the November 11 win against the Houston Rockets, which marked the end of an eight-game winning streak. Rookie Yaxel Lendeborg now shoulders a heavier workload following Curry's injury.

Curry exhibited discomfort during the first quarter and was substituted, never returning to the game. Head coach Steve Kerr awaits MRI results, expressing high concern regarding the extent of the injury. Curry, a two-time MVP in his 18th season, averaged 30.6 points, 4.3 assists, and 4.1 rebounds in his last game before the injury.

Rookie Yaxel Lendeborg and Brandon Williams await Curry's return, with the five-game road trip beginning on November 13 in San Antonio.
