Steve Kerr said ‘concern is high’ over Steph Curry, who had to leave the arena in Houston midgame to get an MRI on an abdominal injury. Why can’t we have nice things????”The worst-case scenario could see the Warriors lose Curry for a significant portion of the season, thus leaving them without their best two players going forward.With Jimmy Butler still recovering from his ACL tear earlier this year, the Warriors were more reliant than ever on Curry and his scoring exploits heading into the season.And while rookie Yaxel Lendeborg’s performances have been a huge boost to the team, allowing them to go on a run of winning games, the youngster isn’t ready to be the first scoring option for the team.As for Brandin Podziemski, he isn’t ready yet but will have to settle into the role of the first option for them going forward.So far this season, Curry is averaging 27.8 points, 3.9 assists, and 3.7 rebounds while shooting 50.0% from the field, 45.7% from deep, and 98.7% from beyond the arc. Regardless of how long he is out, the Warriors will feel Curry’s absence in the games he misses.Read more:Doctor predicts how many Warriors games Stephen Curry will miss after injuryWho Pep Guardiola previously named as his favourite modern NBA players post-Michael JordanDraymond Green says two Warriors players ensure Curry’s injury won’t hurt as much
