Stephen Curry exited Wednesday's game in Houston with 7:22 remaining in the first quarter after injuring his right abdomen.

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry was ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets after injuring his right abdomen during the first quarter. The injury occurred early in the period, with Curry seen clutching his side before signaling to the bench after hitting a 28-foot 3-pointer with 7:22 remaining. At the time of his departure, the Warriors trailed Houston 19-10.

Following a brief discussion with head coach Steve Kerr during a timeout, Curry retreated to the locker room accompanied by medical staff member Drew Yoder. The team officially designated his status as out due to right abdominal soreness early in the second quarter. Prior to the exit, Curry had been averaging 30.6 points in 28.6 minutes per game during an eight-game winning streak that followed an 0-3 start to the season.

According to ESPN, the Warriors are scheduled to continue their road trip against the Spurs in San Antonio this Friday night. No further update on Curry's status for that contest was provided immediately following the injury in Houston.
