The feel-good vibes for the Golden State Warriors may be coming to a screeching halt.

Golden State superstar Steph Curry was forced to exit Wednesday’s game against the Houston Rockets early. In the first quarter at Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, Curry sprung free for an open three-point attempt off a screen by Warriors teammate Draymond Green.

Curry hit the shot but came up grimacing upon his landing. The former NBA MVP appeared to let out an expletive and then walked off the floor before heading straight to the locker room.

Here is the video of the full sequence.

The Warriors later announced that Curry was dealing with right abdominal soreness. They also promptly ruled him out for the remainder of the contest.

Curry is off to a vintage start to the 2026-27 NBA season, averaging a monstrous 30.6 points per game on 50/46/99 shooting splits to help the Warriors win their last eight games in a row. But he is also 38 years old now with a whole lot of wear, making a non-contact abdominal injury especially troubling. On top of that, Curry appeared in just 43 games last year due to a knee issue that will likely impact him for the rest of his career and now has an additional concern to worry about.
