Steph Curry walked off the court early against the Houston Rockets last night, gripping his side and hip, sending an immediate chill through the Golden State Warriors and the entire NBA. This wasn’t just a tough break; it was the kind of scare that makes everyone hold their breath.
A Scary First Quarter Exit
It was just a few minutes into the game against Kevin Durant and the Rockets, the very start of a five-game road trip, when Curry started looking uncomfortable. He took some hard falls and collisions early on, and then, about halfway through the first quarter, he was gone. Straight to the locker room with trainer Drew Yoder, visibly in discomfort, holding his side and hip area. Man, you never want to see that.
The One Injury They Can’t Afford
The Warriors have been dealing with a bunch of injuries already this 2026-27 season. But here’s the thing: those early bumps haven’t stopped them from winning. This one though? This is *the* injury they absolutely cannot afford. Everyone knows what Curry means to that squad, and losing him, even for a short time, changes everything.
Right now, there’s no word, no official update from the Warriors. We don’t know if he’s been ruled out for the rest of the game or if there’s a chance he could return. Everyone’s holding their breath, waiting for the news. This could be a massive one.
