"The Warriors expect him to miss a week or so of time, according to a report from ESPN on Thursday morning. The team has not announced any timeline for his return to play. Coach Steve Kerr said postgame that Curry, 37, would undergo an MRI on his right thigh. When I heard it was a quad, I was actually kind of relieved, Kerr said after the loss."
"Curry collided with Houston center Alperen Sengun on a screen with about five minutes left in the fourth quarter and hobbled for much of the rest of the game before leaving the floor early. The two-time MVP had a tough shooting night against the Rockets as he was hounded by Amen Thompson, going 4-of-13 from the floor for 14 points. He leads the Warriors in scoring with 27.9 points per game."
"The Warriors will have to make significant adjustments to account for his absence for any amount of time, as they showed when he missed three games earlier this season with a hamstring injury. Golden State hosts the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday and will have to submit an injury report with Curry's status to the league on Friday. The Warriors then face Oklahoma City on Tuesday to close out their homestand before playing in Philadelphia, Cleveland and Chicago."
Steph Curry exited the Warriors' 104-100 loss to the Rockets while limping and left the game in the final minute after colliding on a screen. An MRI has been scheduled for his right thigh, and the injury is characterized as a quad rather than an ankle or knee. He is expected to miss about a week, with no official return timeline announced. Curry shot 4-of-13 for 14 points and leads the team with 27.9 points per game. Golden State will need to adjust roster roles after his absence and must file an injury report Friday ahead of upcoming games against New Orleans, Oklahoma City, Philadelphia, Cleveland and Chicago.
