Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry suffered a right quad contusion in Wednesday’s 104-100 loss to the Houston Rockets.<\/p>\n

The team said<\/a> he’s scheduled to undergo an MRI.<\/p>\n

Curry told reporters earlier this month he had tweaked his right ankle both during a Nov. 14 win at the San Antonio Spurs and a Nov. 18 loss at the Orlando Magic.<\/p>\n

He also said he was still feeling “a little bit” sick from the illness that sidelined him for three games from Nov. 5 to Nov. 9.<\/p>\n

Curry has remained the Warriors’ top scorer despite his health issues during the team’s 10-10 start to the season. <\/p>\n

When available, he’s averaging 27.9 points while leading the NBA with 4.7 three-pointers made per game.<\/p>\n

The Warriors will have to be careful managing his return, however, given Curry’s career-long history<\/a> of ankle issues dating back to his rookie 2009-10 season. <\/p>\n

Curry underwent two surgeries during his first three years in the NBA to address instability in his ankles. The problem was so severe he suffered five ankle sprains<\/a> while playing just 26 games of the 2011-12 campaign.<\/p>\n

Making sure Curry doesn’t rush back to the court could be key to making sure he’s available for as much of his age-37 season as possible.<\/p>\n

The Warriors sit eighth in the Western Conference. They’ve had to deal with one of the toughest schedules in the league so far, which has included three back-to-backs and 12 road games.<\/p>\n

Golden State will hope Curry’s injury isn’t serious so he can help the team bounce back after a tough first month of the 2025-26 season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry suffered a right quad contusion in Wednesday’s 104-100 loss to the Houston…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":312512,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[557],"tags":[64,63,590,85],"class_list":["post-312511","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nba","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312511","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=312511"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312511\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/312512"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=312511"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=312511"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=312511"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
