Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said the "concern is high" after Steph Curry was forced to exit Wednesday's defeat to the Houston Rockets due to abdominal soreness, according to ESPN's Anthony Slater.
Curry checked out of the contest with 6:25 remaining in the first quarter after grabbing at his side following a made three.

That was the 38-year-old's only basket of the contest. Kerr confirmed that Curry left the arena in the second half for an MRI.
Warriors guard Will Richard said Curry spoke to teammates at halftime. "He made sure everybody knew he was OK," Richard told reporters, including The San Francisco Standard's Danny Emerman.
Curry has missed two games this season. He was held out of a loss to the Phoenix Suns on Oct. 24 - the second night of a back-to-back - for right knee injury management, and he missed a Nov. 1 win over the Los Angeles Clippers with the same status.
Entering Wednesday, Curry was averaging 30.6 points, 4.3 assists, and 4.1 rebounds in nine games this season, his 18th in the NBA.
Balanced scoring by the Rockets allowed them to seal a 115-108 victory that snapped the Warriors' eight-game winning streak.
