Warriors vs. Timberwolves: Stephen Curry out for 1 week due to hamstring strain
Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors will be out for at least a week as he recovers from a hamstring strain he suffered during Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals series vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Shams Charania of ESPN first reported Wednesday morning that the Warriors superstar suffered a Grade 1 hamstring strain during the opening game of the series Tuesday night. Charania said the injury was the first strained muscle of Curry's 16-year NBA career and his exact timetable for return is unclear.
The team later announced that an MRI confirmed Curry's injury and that he would be re-evaluated in a week, which means he would miss Game 2 at Minnesota on Thursday night along with games 3 and 4 when the series shifts to the Chase Center in San Francisco.
Game 3 is scheduled for Saturday, while Game 4 will take place on Monday.
Curry exited Tuesday's game early in the second quarter after making a 14-footer and grabbing the back of his left leg. The team ruled him out for the remainder of the game, in which the Warriors went on to win 99-88, giving Golden State a 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven series.
Game 2 of the series will take place Thursday night at the Target Center in Minneapolis..
