The team’s star player, Steph Curry, had to exit the game during the second quarter due to a hamstring injury, and he was quickly declared unfit to return for the rest of the game. Despite his absence, Jimmy Butler stepped up and led the Warriors to secure a significant win in the first game of the playoff series. Nonetheless, the team’s success heavily depends on Curry, who is considered a pivotal player.
Post-game, head coach Steve Kerr shared his thoughts with the press, summarizing Curry’s situation in one word: devastated.
“I spoke with him during halftime,” Kerr revealed. “He’s obviously devastated. The team rallied and played exceptionally well, and while we’re all worried about Steph, injuries are unfortunately part of the game. We have to continue and adapt.”
“He’s day-to-day, he’ll get an MRI tomorrow… He’s obviously devastated… Obviously we’re all concerned about Steph.”

Before the game on Tuesday, Curry had been averaging 24.0 points per game with a shooting accuracy of 47.1% from the field and 39.2% from three-point range. His ability to shoot not only contributes directly to the scoreboard but also stretches opposing defenses, creating opportunities for his teammates. While the Warriors have proven they can secure wins without Curry, as demonstrated in Game 1, his presence on the court makes their job considerably easier.
The second game of the series is set for Thursday night, regardless of Curry’s ability to play.
