Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry is expected to miss a week of action with a quad contusion, according to a report from ESPN.com.
Curry was injured in the fourth quarter of a 104-100 NBA Cup loss to the Houston Rockets on Wednesday, Nov. 26, when he collided with Rockets guard Amen Thompson.
An MRI later revealed Curry suffered a quad contusion and muscle strain.
"When I heard it was a quad, I was actually relieved. Better than an ankle or a knee," Warriors coach Steve Kerr told reporters after the game.
Curry's absence comes at a bad time for Golden State, who sit at 10-10 and in eighth place in the Western Conference.
