Golden State Warriors two-time MVP Stephen Curry was injured last night in a game against the Houston Rockets. Although his team showed a strong front with a 108-94 victory, they obviously had the injury on their mind as well after the game.
The injury took place at the end of the third quarter, when Curry rose up to take a three-pointer. He missed the shot, and then found himself having trouble finding his balance on the way down. He could be seen looking for the scorer’s table to help support him, but found nothing in return. He ended up falling hard on his tailbone, which caused him to writhe in pain.
He was eventually able to get up and walk, but was forced to leave the game for good. Thankfully his team was able to eke out a win regardless. Up until that point, Curry had put up a strong 18 points and eight assists, although he only shot 2-11 from three-point range.
Team officials still don’t know how long Curry will be out for, but head coach Steve Kerr doesn’t seem to be too worried, as he told The Athletic’s Anthony Slater:
“No idea if he’ll play in Memphis [on Friday],” Kerr said, via The Athletic’s Anthony Slater. “But he seems to feel like he’ll be fine in the next week or so. We’ll see. Don’t take that to mean he’s out a week. He could be back practicing tomorrow, for all I know.”
