An MRI scan on Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry’s pelvic region confirmed a contusion, with no structural damage found.
The team released this update on Friday, reassuring fans and the organization that the injury is less severe than initially feared.
Despite the positive news, Curry will miss the Warriors’ first game of their six-game road trip, scheduled against the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday.
The decision to sit Curry out is a precaution to allow him to fully recover before returning to play. His progress will be reassessed on Monday to determine when he can return to the court.
Curry’s absence will require adjustments from the team, with other players expected to step up.
The Warriors’ management is prioritizing Curry’s health, recognizing the importance of long-term player welfare over short-term game results.
