MINNEAPOLIS — Steph Curry’s hamstring strain will keep him out for Game 2 and at least the next week of the Golden State 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 Wednesday. While that is the least severe grade possible, Curry will not be re-evaluated until next Wednesday, according to the Warriors.
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.
The win was significant because their medical staff will likely be conservative with his return to play, as muscle injuries — and hamstrings in particular — are ripe for re-injury.
