What happened
Stephen Curry was diagnosed with an oblique abdominal tear after Wednesday's loss in Houston, and he is expected to miss at least two weeks, likely longer.
He left in first-quarter discomfort and did not return, forcing Steve Kerr's staff to plan a committee approach with De'Anthony Melton, Brandin Podziemski and others.
Golden State's backcourt usage and offensive creation will shift immediately, and any starting mix around Melton remains provisional until Curry's timeline clarifies.
