Stephen Curry's night against the Houston Rockets ended after just six minutes on Wednesday, with the Golden State Warriors guard ruled out because of right abdominal soreness. The 38-year-old headed to the locker room during the first quarter after appearing uncomfortable following a drive to the basket. He did not return to the game. Coach Steve Kerr later confirmed that Curry had undergone an MRI, although the extent of the injury was still unknown. His exit came as Golden State was enjoying an eight-game winning streak and starting a five-game road trip. The team now faces uncertainty over its leading scorer's availability.

Curry drove into the paint during the opening minutes and hit the floor. He got up and went on to make a 28-foot three-pointer, but soon appeared uncomfortable and grabbed his right side. After staying on the court for a couple of possessions, he checked out at the 6:25 mark of the first quarter.

Director of sports medicine Drew Yoder accompanied him to the locker room.

ESPN's Anthony Slater shared the initial injury report on X.

“It's right abdominal soreness for Steph Curry. He's out for the game,” Slater reported.

Curry finished with three points on 1-of-3 shooting in six minutes. His only successful attempt was the three-pointer.

Speaking after the game, Kerr said Curry had described the pain as an unfamiliar feeling. The Warriors coach also confirmed that the guard went for an MRI during the second half.

“I mean, concern is high, but I have no idea the extent of the injury,” Kerr said.

Curry's latest problem comes after a difficult 2025-26 season, when runner's knee kept him out for 27 consecutive games. This time, the concern is around his abdomen, and Golden State has yet to announce how long he might be sidelined.

The Warriors are scheduled to play the San Antonio Spurs on Friday. Curry's status for that
