In this story:

Stephen Curry has been ruled out with an abdominal injury after exiting the first quarter of Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets.

Right after making a three-pointer, Curry grabbed his hip, and he left the game soon after.

Here is video of Curry getting the injury:

In six minutes, he finished 1-of-3 shooting.

Warriors' Packed Upcoming Schedule

This is the first game of a five-game road trip. The Warriors (8-3) play the Spurs on Friday (an NBA Cup game), the Pelicans on Monday, the Mavericks on Wednesday and the Grizzlies next Thursday.

If Curry is out for that stretch, the Dubs will be extremely short-handed. They will also be without backup point guard Brandon Williams (hamstring). Will Richard is playing through a UCL tear on Wednesday, while Gary Payton II is currently out with knee inflammation.

Without Curry and Williams, LJ Cryer will get a lot more playing time. Rookie Yaxel Lendeborg will also be asked to score a lot more.
