Steve Kerr voices genuine concern as Curry undergoes urgent imaging

Addressing reporters during his postgame press conference, Kerr made no attempt to downplay the gravity of the situation surrounding his superstar point guard. Kerr revealed that Curry explicitly mentioned feeling something pull or hurt in his abdominal area, noting that the thirty eight year old had never dealt with a similar ailment throughout his storied career. The veteran coach added that Curry left the arena during the second half to undergo an immediate magnetic resonance imaging scan, leaving the franchise anxiously holding its breath until physicians evaluate the detailed results.

Snapping a dominant winning streak amid an MVP caliber start

Any extended absence for Curry would deliver a devastating blow to a Warriors squad that had been firing on all cylinders prior to this setback. Following an early three game stumble to open the campaign, Golden State had surged to eight straight victories behind Curry sensational scoring pace, entering the matchup as the second leading scorer in the entire league at over thirty points per game. Without their offensive engine on the floor, the Warriors fell 115 to 108 against a balanced Rockets attack led by twenty points from Kevin Durant alongside nineteen points each from Alperen Sengun and Amen Thompson.
