The Golden State Warriors' five game road swing got off to a shaky start on Wednesday night.
In the opening game of a five-game road trip, Steph Curry exited Wednesday's contest against the Houston Rockets with an apparent injury. Curry appeared in discomfort after burying a 3-pointer in the first quarter against the Rockets. Curry played the next few minutes before exiting the game and leaving to the locker room.
Following Curry's exit, the Warriors announced the All-Star point guard wouldn't return for the remainder of the game due to a right abdominal soreness.
Curry has been in mid-season form during the Warriors' eight-game win streak. During the Warriors' win streak, Curry is averaging 32.6 points on 52.8% shooting from the field with 4.9 assists and 4.7 rebounds per contest. Curry has tallied 40 or more points in two games during the Warriors' win streak. Prior to exiting the game on Wednesday, Curry tallied three points on 1-of-3 shooting from the field in six minutes of action.
Without Curry, the Warriors will have to lean on Brandin Podziemski and De'Anthony Melton in the backcourt on Wednesday night. After Wednesday night's game, the Warriors will get Thursday off before meeting Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night.
