The Golden State Warriors suffered a potentially huge blow in Game 1 of their second-round series against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Stephen Curry exited in the second quarter of Game 1 and did not return with a strained left hamstring. Warriors coach Steve Kerr said Curry will undergo an MRI on Wednesday to determine the severity of the strain. There’s currently no clear timeline on his return, and Game 2 is set for Thursday night.
Curry got off to a fast start with 13 points in his first 13 minutes in a game the Warriors went on to win by 11 points. After hitting a 3 on one end, Curry appeared to suffer the injury on the defensive end. He managed to stay in the game and hit another push shot on Golden State’s next trip, but then he asked out of the game and went straight to the locker room with a noticeable limp.
Here’s a look at what happened:
“I talked to him at halftime. He’s obviously crushed,” Kerr said of Curry after the Game 1 win. “The guys picked him up and played a great game. And obviously we’re all concerned about Steph, but it’s part of the game. Guys get hurt, you move on. Our guys did a great job of moving on and getting a great win 48 hours after a Game 7 road win. It’s an amazing group of guys. They compete. They’re together. They’ve been the best defense in the league since the Jimmy trade and that’s what’s keeping us afloat right now.”
A big factor here: There is only one day of rest between each game through Game 5 of this series, so even a weeklong absence could potentially cause Curry to be out through Game 4. There are three off days scheduled in the series between Game 5 (May 14) and Game 6 (May 18).
The Warriors will hope for good news, but this was their sixth game in 11 days after a rock fight of a seven-game series in the first round with the Houston Rockets. The Rockets were extremely physical with Curry, who is 37 years old. These things add up.
It sounds like we’ll know more about Curry’s status for Game 2 and beyond on Wednesday.

Arch Manning and the 2026 NFL Draft QB Class Better Be Ready to Save the League
Now that the dust has settled on the 2025 NFL Draft, some folks have already turned the page to the 2026 class.After former Miami quarterback Cam Ward was selected No. 1 overall by the Tennessee Titans, we didn’t see another quarterback come off the board until the New York Giants traded back in for Jaxson Dart out of Ole Miss with the No. 25 overall pick. After that, quarterbacks were few and far between, as teams opted for project guys like Tyler Shough and Jalen Milroe before Shedeur Sanders was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the fifth round. It seems like this sets up the 2026 NFL Draft to be quarterback-needy. If Texas’ Arch Manning has a good year, he’ll instantly become the hottest name to watch. But LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier has a lot of hype, as does Penn […]
