Warriors’ Stephen Curry Injury Prompts Blunt Steve Kerr Response
The Golden State Warriors headed into the 2026-27 NBA season with no telling what to expect from their team, which had a mix of young and old players trying to keep afloat in a highly competitive Western Conference.
Fortunately for head coach Steve Kerr and company, the Warriors have exceeded expectations, with superstar Stephen Curry playing at a high level and rookie Yaxel Lendeborg proving better than advertised in his first season with the storied franchise.
However, the Warriors have now been hit with a costly blow after starting the 2026-27 campaign with a record of 8-4. Curry has gone down with an abdominal and oblique injury.
According to Kerr, there’s “high” concern about this latest injury for the four-time NBA champion, via ESPN.
“Concern is high,” Kerr said. “But I have no idea the extent.”
Obviously, that’s the worst news that this Warriors team could get, especially with such a promising start to the season.

Longtime teammate Draymond Green shared his reaction to Curry’s injury and how he thinks this year’s Warriors are in a “better position” to deal with their leader sidelined.
“The spirit of this team is better,” Green said. “We’re more certain of who we are, what makes us a good team. I think that puts us in a better position to be successful without him as opposed to where we were last year. Then obviously [Yaxel Lendeborg], having a guy you can give the ball to and he can create an advantage. [Brandin Podziemski] is playing a lot better. … It puts us in a better position.”
It remains to be seen how long Curry will be out and how Green and company will play without him moving forward.
