MINNESOTA >> Steph Curry’s hamstring strain will keep him out for Game 2 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 Wednesday. 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 any time soon, but obviously we were waiting for the MRI,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said on Wednesday afternoon. “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.”

The win was particularly 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.

“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.
