Dub Nation saw something they never want to see when Steph Curry headed to the Warriors’ locker room in the first quarter against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night at Toyota Center.

The Warriors superstar was grabbing at his side early in the game after being hit several times, then a collision near the rim with 6:25 left in the frame forced him from the game. The Warriors ruled him out of the game near the start of the second quarter with right abdominal soreness.

After dealing with a knee injury last year, Curry has been healthy this season as Golden State gets off to a roaring start, entering Wednesday’s contest on an eight-game winning streak after losing their first three matchups. The 38-year-old point guard has led that charge, averaging 30.6 points per game on 50.3-percent shooting from the field and 45.7 percent from 3-point range.

The Warriors already were short-handed at guard to start their road trip, after Brandon Williams sustained a hamstring injury in Monday night’s blowout win over the New Orleans Pelicans.

The Rockets jumped out to a 35-20 lead once the first-quarter buzzer had sounded, and Golden State certainly hopes to have Curry back on the floor soon.
