Stephen Curry left the arena in the second half to get an MRI, but the team had not yet received any information from the image. HOUSTON (AP) — Golden State star Stephen Curry left Wednesday night’s game against Houston in the first quarter with right abdominal pain and did not return. Curry hit a 3-pointer, his only basket of the game, with about 7 1/2 minutes left in the first quarter, put his hand on his right side and grimaced as he stepped back after the shot. He immediately approached coach Steve Kerr and headed to the locker room. He appeared to be in pain and walked cautiously, holding his right side as he left the court. “He said he pinched something in his abdominal area and said he had never done that before,” Kerr said. Kerr added that Curry left the arena in the second half to get an MRI, but that the team had not yet received any information from the image. Kerr was asked what his level of concern was about Curry’s condition. “I mean, the concern is high, but I have no idea the extent of the injury,” he said. The Rockets beat the Warriors 115-108, ending Golden State’s eight-game winning streak. Curry, 38, a two-time Kia MVP and 12-time All-Star, entered the night second in the NBA in scoring with 30.6 points per game. He was the Warriors’ leading scorer in six of their eight wins, which followed an 0-3 start.
