Stephen Curry entered the Golden State Warriors' locker room to start their Wednesday road game in Houston against the Rockets.
Curry was seen holding his right hip before leaving the game.
The Warriors announced he will no longer return due to right abdominal soreness.
Curry dropped three points in six minutes before departing. Will Richard, Gary Payton II, and De'Anthony Melton are all expected to step up for the Warriors and help Brandin Podziemski in the team's backcourt.
Stephen Curry suffers abdominal injury for Warriors vs Rockets
After hitting a three-pointer with over seven minutes to go during the first quarter in the Golden State Warriors' matchup against the Houston Rockets, Stephen Curry suddenly suffered an apparent abdominal injury.
Based on his instant reaction after the play, Curry appeared to be in significant pain as he grabbed his hip and entered the locker room.
Curry's injury serves as a new, concerning development for Golden State that ruins their red-hot start. After losing their first three games of the season, the Warriors blazed for eight consecutive victories entering Wednesday's game against the Rockets.
The Warriors have yet to see the return of Jimmy Butler (torn ACL) and Moses Moody (torn patellar tendon) this season, as they are also processing their split with Kristaps Porzingis amid the big man's absence due to postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS).
Curry has led the Warriors this season, averaging 30.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 4.3 assists across nine appearances. He is also shooting 50.3% from the field and 45.7% from the three-point range.
