Golden State Warriors expect Steph Curry to miss about a week with quad contusion

The Golden State Warriors expect Stephen Curry to miss around a week with a quad contusion, depending on how he responds to treatment.
An MRI confirmed a quad contusion and muscle strain, and the team said he will be reevaluated in one week.

Curry exited in the final minute of the Warriors’ 104-100 home loss to the Houston Rockets after a string of fourth-quarter collisions left him limping. He is believed to have avoided any serious issue, and Steve Kerr said he was relieved it was a quad injury rather than an ankle or knee problem.

The setback comes at a shaky time for the Warriors, who have fallen to 10-10 after a 4-1 start amid criticism of their recent defensive effort from Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green. Golden State wraps up its current homestand against the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday and the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday.
