Stephen Curry injury puts Warriors' impressive resurgence in jeopardy

After a 0-3 start to the season, the Golden State Warriors rattled off an impressive eight straight wins, highlighted by their superstar Stephen Curry.

Golden State entered play Wednesday looking to extend its winning streak to nine games. While it was unsuccessful in doing so, the major concern was Curry and the status of an injury he suffered in the first quarter.

Curry logged just six minutes before exiting with a hip injury, and a report Thursday has revealed the exact extent of the injury and a possible timeline for his return.

Stephen Curry has an oblique abdominal tear

According to an announcement from the Warriors, an MRI confirmed that Curry suffered an oblique abdominal tear. According to the team, Curry will be out for at least two weeks before being re-evaluated.

ClutchPoints NBA insider Brett Siegel reported that most players who suffer from an oblique tear usually miss a minimum of four weeks, so it seems that Curry's absence may extend beyond the re-evaluation period.

It is a massive blow for Curry and the Warriors, as he was averaging 27.8 points per game on 50 percent shooting from the field and 45.7 percent from three-point range.
