Stephen Curry to miss Brooklyn Nets game with abductor strain

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets because of an abductor strain.

Curry suffered the injury in the third quarter of Thursday's 134-111 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr confirmed Curry had undergone an MRI scan on Tuesday and would miss the game against the Nets.

However, he has avoided a long-term setback and is expected to miss only a few days, according to Kerr.

The Warriors also have games against the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday and Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday.

Curry, who has averaged 29.5 points in 12 games this season, will be replaced by Quinn Cook against the Nets.

Meanwhile, power forward Draymond Green (foot) will miss his second straight game and point guard Shaun Livingston (foot) will sit out his seventh in a row.
