Steph Curry Out for Opening Game of Warriors' Road Trip Due to Injury

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry suffered a pelvic contusion during a game against the Toronto Raptors, forcing him to leave the court in the third quarter. Despite the injury, which did not involve structural damage, Curry is expected to miss at least the upcoming game against the Atlanta Hawks as the Warriors embark on a six-game road trip. Head coach Steve Kerr indicated that Curry wanted to return to the game but the team opted for caution to prevent further risk. The Warriors, who have won nine of their last ten games and recently acquired Jimmy Butler, are focused on maintaining momentum as they eye the playoffs. Curry's health is critical for their postseason aspirations, with the team prepared to manage his recovery carefully to ensure he is fit for the playoffs. The Warriors' playoff position remains strong, currently sitting sixth in the Western Conference, and they hope to sustain their success even in Curry's absence.
