Stephen Curry will miss the second game of the Western Conference semifinals against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday due to a Grade 1 strain in his left hamstring, as reported by ESPN’s Shams Charania. The injury occurred during the first game of the series.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This marks the first muscle strain in Curry’s professional career. The Golden State Warriors anticipate his absence to extend through at least the next week, which likely includes Games 2, 3, and 4 of the series. The possibility of a Game 5 is set for the following Wednesday, but Curry’s return schedule remains uncertain as he deals with this type of injury for the first time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In the series opener, Curry managed to play for 13 minutes before his departure, contributing 13 points, one rebound, and one assist, helping the Warriors secure a 99-88 victory over the Timberwolves.<\/p>\n

Warriors’ coach Steve Kerr had already hinted at the possibility of Curry not playing in Thursday’s game, stating that the team was preparing for his potential absence.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In the absence of Curry, players like Buddy Hield, who scored 24 points, Jimmy Butler, with 20 points and 11 rebounds, and Draymond Green, who added 18 points, stepped up significantly in Game 1. They are expected to play crucial roles again in Game 2.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Curry’s absence notably alters the dynamics and the likelihood of the Warriors progressing further in the playoffs, leading to quick adjustments in betting odds. This isn’t the first challenge of this nature the team has faced.<\/p>\n
