Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry has been ruled out for at least two weeks after suffering an abdominal tear during Wednesdays defeat to the Houston Rockets.The 38-year-old underwent an MRI after leaving the court in the first quarter, with scans confirming an oblique abdominal tear that will keep him sidelined for at least seven games.Warriors head coach Steve Kerr admitted there was significant concern surrounding the injury, particularly after Curry revealed he had never experienced anything similar.Concern is high, Kerr said.Curry began experiencing discomfort in his right side just minutes into Wednesdays game but initially attempted to continue playing.With 7:22 remaining in the opening quarter, the two-time MVP came off a Draymond Green screen and converted a 28-foot three-pointer before shouting in pain and signalling towards the bench.He eventually left the contest with 6:25 remaining in the first quarter and underwent further medical examinations.Warriors face seven games without CurryGolden State will now be without their leading scorer for upcoming fixtures against the San Antonio Spurs, New Orleans Pelicans, Dallas Mavericks, Memphis Grizzlies, Boston Celtics, Sacramento Kings and Portland Trail Blazers.The Warriors already have several significant absentees, with Jimmy Butler III and Moses Moody recovering from long-term knee injuries, while Kristaps Porzingis has stepped away from basketball.Brandon Williams is also expected to miss at least a week with a hamstring problem.Golden State struggled without Curry last season, recording just 13 wins in the 39 games he missed.However, Green believes the current squad is better equipped to cope with his absence.The spirit of this team is better, Green said.Were more certain of who we are, what makes us a good team. I think that puts us in a better position to be successful without him as opposed to where we were last year.
