Warriors face challenges as Stephen Curry suffers injury against Rockets

The Golden State Warriors lost 115-108 to the Houston Rockets on November 12, 2026, leading to concerns about their performance in Stephen Curry's absence. Curry sustained a right oblique abdominal tear and is expected to be sidelined for at least two weeks. Former NBA player Gilbert Arenas expressed doubts about Draymond Green's ability to lead the team without Curry, emphasizing that the Warriors rely heavily on their star player's energy and presence. Arenas suggested that head coach Steve Kerr may need to adjust the starting lineup as they navigate this difficult period. The team, which initially started the season 8-3, is now working to compensate for Curry's loss amid increasing pressure.
