The Golden State Warriors will reportedly be without All-NBA guard Stephen Curry for "a few weeks" after he suffered a shoulder injury in a loss to the Indiana Pacers Wednesday night, according to ESPN. 

Curry injured his left shoulder, and The Athletic reported that the injury is keeping him sidelined. The Warriors will reevaluate their star point guard in two weeks. 

The injury occurred when Curry was attempting a steal against a Pacers player and reached out his left arm. Curry immediately clutched his shoulder. Curry left the floor and headed straight to the locker room.

Following the 125-119 loss to the Pacers, in which Curry had a game-high 38 points before leaving, head coach Steve Kerr said Curry was in good spirits. 

MRI testing was scheduled for Thursday to determine the severity of the injury.

As usual Curry is one of his team's main point producers, averaging 30 per game to rank seventh in the NBA. He also dishes out 6.8 assists and grabs 6.6 rebounds, while shooting an even 50% from the floor.

His loss in the starting five is a big one, but the Warriors are likely relieved their star player isn’t gone for longer.
