Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry was involved in a car crash on Friday morning. According to ABC7 in San Francisco, Curry’s Porsche was hit twice just before 9 a.m. in Oakland. Fortunately, ABC7 reports Curry and everyone else involved in the crash were able to walk away from the wreck unscathed.
Curry was on his way to the Warriors’ shootaround on Friday when the incident happened, per Anthony Slater of The Athletic. Golden State will play hosts to the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night, but Curry, who is still dealing with a groin injury and has not appeared in any of the Warriors’ last seven games as a result, is not going to play.
Steph Curry's car crash happened on the way to shootaround, which is now open to reporters. He's in facility, fine…but still not available tonight vs Blazers because of groin strain.

Inclement weather “likely” played a role in the crash, and ABC7 has more details on what happened that led to Curry’s car getting hit.
“A California Highway Patrol spokesman said Curry was hit twice; first a car spun out and hit him, then a second car rear-ended him. Curry’s Porsche was damaged,” the report says.
Hearing that someone was involved in a car crash is always terrifying, but everyone gets to breathe a big sigh of relief knowing those involved in the wreck were able to avoid any sort of major injuries.
Update: Curry tweeted for the first time since his accident, saying he’s appreciative of people getting in touch.
Don’t need any reminders but All the Time God is Great and God is Great all the time! Appreciate all the texts.
