To start, it appears Stephen Curry will miss at least the next two weeks of action as he recovers from an oblique abdominal tear. However, early reports indicate the All-Star point guard could miss more time than just two weeks. On Thursday, the Warriors announced Curry would be re-evaluated in two weeks, ruling him out for the next six games. Yet, on Thursday, Shams Charania of ESPN reported Curry is expected to miss close to one month with his oblique injury.
In an appearance on ESPN's NBA Today, Charania reported Curry would be sidelined closer to one month. The Warriors are now bracing Curry 's injury could cause him to miss a double-digit amount of games, per Charania.

Curry suffered his oblique injury halfway through the first quarter during the Warriors' loss to the Houston Rockets on Wednesday evening. Curry appeared in discomfort after making a 3-pointer in the first quarter. Curry continued to play for next few minutes before exiting the game to the locker room. Curry was later ruled out for the remainder of the contest on Wednesday. With Curry sidelined, the Warriors' eight-game win streak came to an end with a 115-108 loss to the Rockets.
Curry is currently averaging 27.8 points on 50% shooting from the field and 45.7% from beyond the arc to go along with 3.9 assists and 3.7 rebounds per game. During the Warriors' eight-game winning streak, Curry tallied 40 or more points on two separate occasions.
Without Curry, the Warriors will need to lean on Brandin Podziemski and De'Anthony Melton in Steve Kerr's backcourt for the near future.
