Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry will be reevaluated in two weeks after an MRI confirmed an oblique abdominal tear, the team announced Thursday.

Curry, 38, left Wednesday night’s 115-108 loss to the Houston Rockets at Toyota Center with 6:25 remaining in the first quarter. He made a 28-foot 3-pointer, grabbed at his right side in obvious discomfort and signaled to the bench, finishing with three points in about six minutes. He was ruled out early in the second quarter with right abdominal soreness and underwent the MRI later that night, which confirmed the tear. A reevaluation in two weeks is a checkpoint, not a guaranteed return date, and oblique injuries can take longer to heal.

“He just said he tweaked something in his abdominal area and said he’s never done it before,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said Wednesday night, adding that the concern level was “high.”

The injury interrupts one of the best starts of Curry’s 18-year career. He entered Wednesday averaging 30.6 points per game, second in the NBA behind Luka Doncic, while shooting 45.7 percent from 3-point range, a career-high pace, with 4.1 rebounds and 4.3 assists in nine appearances.

Golden State’s loss in Houston ended an eight-game winning streak and dropped the Warriors to 8-4. The Warriors are also playing without Jimmy Butler, who has missed the start of the season while rehabilitating the torn ACL he suffered in January. Based on the two-week reevaluation window, Curry is set to miss at least the Warriors’ next seven games, against San Antonio, New Orleans, Dallas, Memphis, Boston, Sacramento and Portland, and ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Thursday that the team is preparing for a possible absence closer to one month.

The Warriors open that stretch on Friday night with an NBA Cup game at the San Antonio Spurs, who have won 10 straight.

Norman Powell scored 23 points as the Chicago Bulls beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 117-106 on Saturday night, ending Minnesota’s five-game winning streak.

Matas Buzelis added 18 points and nine rebounds for Chicago, and Buddy Hield and Tre Jones each chipped in 16 points off the bench. The Bulls won for the second straight night despite a travel day scrambled by the nationwide FAA ground stop, which delayed their arrival in Minneapolis until the day of the game, and despite missing Caleb Wilson, Jalen Smith and Nic Claxton.

Chicago led 29-17 after the first quarter and 58-45 at halftime. Minnesota’s 17 points in the first quarter were its lowest-scoring quarter of the season, and the Timberwolves failed to reach 110 points for the first time this season.

Ayo Dosunmu scored a team-high 24 points against his former team for Minnesota, LaMelo Ball had 19 and Jaden McDaniels added 18. The Timberwolves missed their first 13 3-point attempts and finished 9 of 38 from long range, while Chicago scored 54 points in the paint.
