Curry left the arena in the second half to get an MRI on his right abdomen. In Milwaukee, the Lakers saw Austin Reaves leave with a left heel injury. His X-rays were negative and he will have more imaging on Thursday.

Stephen Curry heads for an MRI on his abdomen

Curry played six minutes and scored three points before he went to the locker room in the first quarter. The Warriors ruled him out for the rest of the night with right abdominal soreness. After the game, Kerr said Curry described a tweak in his abdomen and side, something he had never felt before. “Concern is high, but I have no idea the extent of the injury,” Kerr said. Luca Evans reported that Curry had already left the Toyota Center for the MRI by the time the game ended.

Without Curry, rookie Yaxel Lendeborg had 25 points and 10 rebounds, and the Warriors came back from 15 points down to tie the game before Houston pulled away in the fourth quarter. The loss ended Golden State’s eight-game winning streak on the first night of a five-game road trip. The guard group was already thin, with Brandon Williams out with a hamstring strain and Gary Payton II out with knee inflammation. The Warriors play at San Antonio on Friday in an Emirates NBA Cup game at 9:30 p.m. ET (4:30 a.m. Saturday Cairo time).

Will Richard did play through the torn ligament in his left thumb, as Wednesday’s update said he would try to. Kerr said before the game that Richard chose “right away” to try playing instead of having surgery. Wearing a splint, he scored nine points in 19 minutes and made 2 of 3 threes.

Austin Reaves’ heel X-rays are negative

Reaves had 18 points, five assists and three steals in 25 minutes before he left midway through the third quarter of the Lakers’ 123-112 win, their seventh in a row. JJ Redick said X-rays on the left heel were negative. Dave McMenamin reported there will be no further update until Reaves has imaging back in Los Angeles on Thursday. Jovan Buha reported that Redick said the team has ruled out an Achilles injury.

Luka Dončić also came out late after he was fouled on a jumper and grabbed his right ankle. Redick said he thinks Dončić will be fine, and Dan Woike reported that Dončić said he was “good.” Collin Sexton left early and needed stitches near his temple. The Lakers, 11-2, do not play again until Sunday.

Caleb Wilson leaves with a right hand injury

Wilson scored 15 points on 5-of-7 shooting with five rebounds in 15 minutes before the Bulls ruled him out with a right hand injury. Chicago led by 22 and lost 124-119 as the Spurs won their 10th straight. No further update was available on Wednesday night. Chicago hosts Atlanta on Friday.

Boston’s Paul George missed that game with an illness.
