The Warriors lost their leading scorer less than five minutes into the first quarter when Curry grabbed his right side and walked straight to the locker room. Golden State went on to fall 107-98 to the Rockets, dropping to 8-3 on the season.
Curry had scored four points in four minutes before the exit. Coach Steve Kerr said the team is awaiting MRI results to determine the severity of the abdominal soreness.
The 38-year-old guard entered the night averaging 30.6 points, 4.3 assists and 4.1 rebounds through 11 games. He missed two earlier contests for planned rest on back-to-backs and sat out most of last season with a knee issue that limited him to 43 games.
Curry also sprained his right ankle in practice on Oct. 18, less than a week before the regular season opener, but recovered in time to start the year. Jimmy Butler's season-ending torn ACL in January added to an injury pattern that has defined Golden State's recent campaigns.
With Curry sidelined, the Warriors must navigate a schedule that has featured early success but little margin for error. The MRI results will dictate whether this becomes another extended absence or a brief pause in an MVP-caliber start.
