While defending a fast break midway through the third quarter during the Milwaukee Bucks game on November 8th of 2018, Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors strained his left adductor muscle (commonly known as a groin pull). He left the game. An MRI was obtained showing a grade I-II strain severity. As we often note on this site, the MRI does not influence treatment and seems unhelpful. If you strain your adductor muscle, an MRI is not worth paying for.  

Adductor muscle strains heal with time.  The symptoms can be alleviated with pain medication, ice, stretching,  and eventually muscle strengthening exercises. Muscle strains improve for a year.  It’s safe to play, but it can be difficult to be effective with a painful adductor.  A recovering muscle is also more vulnerable to additional strain. Media reports anticipate return to play in less than two months.
