MINNESOTA — Steph Curry’s hamstring strain will keep him out for Game 2 tonight and at least the next week of the Warriors’ playoff series with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

An MRI Wednesday morning revealed a Grade 1 strain of his left hamstring, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported, and the Warriors confirmed, later in the day. While that is the least severe grade possible, Curry will not be re-evaluated until next Wednesday, according to the Warriors.

“We knew last night he wasn’t going to be playing anytime soon, but obviously we were waiting for the MRI,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “Here we are, and it’s just up to us to adapt and figure it out.”

Curry grabbed at his left hamstring after an offensive sequence in the second quarter of Game 1, motioned to the bench and left the game with 8:19 to go before halftime. The Warriors won the game 99-88.

While Curry heals, the Warriors will lean on Jimmy Butler to take an even larger role in the offense, something he did often in Miami.

“We’re absolutely going to rely on Jimmy like we have when Steph’s been off the floor the last couple of months,” Kerr said. “We basically run everything through Jimmy in those moments, so he’ll take on more responsibility. But we also can’t just rely on him creating every single shot. We’ve got to execute offensively.”

Timberwolves guard Mike Conley said Curry’s absence won’t make things any easier for Minnesota on defense.

“Everybody is live. Everybody who comes into the game is looking to make plays,” Conley said. “So you have to be almost even more so locked in on the game and who you’re matched up with and the tendencies. Because they’re not looking for just Curry. Obviously, Buddy (Hield) is going to be more aggressive, Jimmy is going to be more aggressive, but they’ve got guys who can put the ball in the hole, and they may try to do that collectively as a group.”

The Warriors’ win was particularly significant because their medical staff will likely be conservative with Curry’s return to play, as muscle injuries — and hamstrings in particular — are ripe to be aggravated.

“The reason you don’t want to rush back a hamstring strain is that there’s a high rate of re-injury if you come back too early.” Dr. Nirav Pandya, the director of sports medicine at Benioff Children’s Hospital, said in a social media post Tuesday night. “In addition, there’s a high rate of additional injuries to the body if your hamstring isn’t very secure or strong enough to come back on the court.”

The Warriors play three games over the next week — including their first two home games of the series on Saturday and Monday. Game 5 of the series would be next Wednesday, May 14, in Minneapolis, then the teams get a break until Game 6 at Chase Center the following Sunday, May 18. Game 7, a road game for the Warriors if the series reaches that point, would be played Tuesday, May 20.

“It’s going to be a completely different style without him on the court, so everybody’s getting their mind ready, and the rotation is going to be different and everything is going to be a little different,” Kevon Looney said. “Everybody is prepping to step up.”

Curry missed 12 regular-season games with an assortment of injuries, including two late in the regular season with a bruised pelvis. Curry has also been dealing with right thumb and ankle injuries.
