Steph Curry Injured, Suffers Abdominal Muscle Tear

In depth

Ayesha Curry faced criticism from former NBA players Nick Young and Gilbert Arenas over a kissing scene with another man in a new film in which she stars. The two apologized on live broadcast, and Young said: "I love you, bro."

Steph Curry responded sharply, arguing that the criticism reflects the way women are viewed in the world. In the loss to Houston he was injured in his abdomen already in the first quarter and was taken for an MRI, and coach Steve Kerr said the player said this had never happened to him before.

The test results revealed a tear in the oblique abdominal muscle, and he is expected to be out for an extended period. Curry will be re-examined in two weeks, and the team still cannot estimate how long he will be out.
