Stephen Curry sat down after the Warriors went through their shootaround practice in Minneapolis on Thursday, quickly announcing that he’s feeling great.

He was not telling the truth.

“Sarcasm,” the four-time NBA champion with the Warriors quickly clarified, just in case anyone missed the joke.

Curry is going to be a postseason spectator for at least a few games, his Grade 1 hamstring strain bad enough that it forced him out in the second quarter of Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinal series at Minnesota on Tuesday night. He missed the lopsided Game 2 loss to the Timberwolves on Thursday that evened the series and will likely be sidelined for at least Games 3 and 4.

Curry — who is with the team but isn’t allowed to do anything basketball-related yet, even stationary shooting — isn’t exactly sure how or why the injury happened. He’s never had any hamstring issue.

“It’s hard to really predict this stuff is what I’m learning,” Curry said. “There were no, like, warning signs or any weird feelings. I felt great the whole game up until that point. And then I made a little pivot move on defense and felt something.”

Curry thought he would be able to return to Game 1, then quickly realized that wasn’t the case. Playing with the strain could have made the issue far worse, Curry said. Hamstrings, he’s quickly learning, need time no matter what sort of rehabilitation program he partakes in.

“Obviously, a tough break,” Curry said. “Hopefully, I’ll be back soon.”

Timberwolves say fan ejected for conduct toward Warriors’ Green: The Timberwolves say they are investigating if a fan directed racially charged comments toward the Warriors’ Draymond Green during the fourth quarter of a playoff game between the teams on Thursday night.

The incident, which the Timberwolves confirmed Friday, preceded Green making a brief postgame statement saying he has grown tired of what he believes is the perception of him being an “angry Black man.”

A fan, the Timberwolves said, was ejected following an incident with Green. The Timberwolves did not detail what happened in the incident, other than the fan violated “the NBA Fan Code of Conduct.” There was a video circulating on social media showing Green, riding a stationary bike in an effort to stay loose midway through the fourth quarter and with security near him, responding to something said by someone in the stands.

“A second individual, who was identified by surrounding patrons as making racially charged comments towards Green, left on his own before arena security could confirm his identity,” the Timberwolves said. “The team is continuing to investigate, and additional action may be taken.”

Green got his fifth technical foul of these playoffs earlier in Thursday’s game. He did not take questions afterward, only giving a brief statement to a small number of reporters in the locker room postgame.

“I’m tired of the agenda to make me look like the angry Black man,” Green said in those remarks.
