Stephen Curry injury leaves Warriors facing life without their greatest weapon.
Stephen Curry will miss at least two weeks after an MRI confirmed a torn oblique abdominal muscle, leaving the Golden State Warriors to face a brutal stretch without the man who makes their entire system work.

Curry suffered the injury early in Wednesday’s loss to the Houston Rockets, leaving the court with 6:25 remaining in the first quarter. The Warriors said he will be re-evaluated in two weeks, but ESPN reported that sources believe he could be sidelined for closer to a month.
Curry, 38, had been on pace for one of the best seasons of his 18-year career. Now the NBA’s all-time three-point leader will miss at least six games, beginning with Friday’s trip to San Antonio. The schedule is unforgiving: road games against San Antonio, New Orleans, Dallas and Memphis, followed by home dates with Boston and Sacramento.
Head coach Steve Kerr admitted the concern level was high, saying Curry had felt a tweak in his midsection and had never dealt with this type of injury before.
The Warriors will hope the two-week timeline holds, but the uncertainty around Curry’s recovery is already casting a shadow over their season.
This is not simply about losing points. Curry changes spacing, draws double teams and creates open shots for everyone around him. Without him, Golden State’s entire offensive identity is under threat.
The Warriors started the season 8-4, but their next stretch will show whether they are a genuine contender — or a team that still cannot function without Stephen Curry.
