After scoring 14 points and adding 6 assists, 4 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks while playing 37 minutes in the first game of his senior season,[6] Curry missed the next three games due to a foot injury.[7] After starting the season 4–0, the team lost its first game on the road against Pac-12 Conference Colorado on November 24.[8] Curry re-aggravated his foot against Colorado and was described as out indefinitely by Amaker.[9]
