Sun May 11 02:40:00 UTC 2025: **Warriors’ Curry Out at Least Three Games with Hamstring Injury**

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry will miss at least the next three games of the Western Conference semifinals against the Minnesota Timberwolves due to a grade 1 hamstring strain. The injury occurred during Game 1, a 99-88 Warriors victory, forcing Curry to leave the game in the second quarter. An MRI revealed the strain, and the team announced Wednesday that he will be re-evaluated in a week.

Curry’s absence is a significant blow to the Warriors. The two-time MVP is their primary offensive weapon, and his status has major implications for Golden State’s playoff run. While the average recovery time for such an injury is approximately 10 days, coach Steve Kerr stated that Curry’s return is uncertain, leaving open the possibility of a return for a potential Game 5, 6, or 7.

Despite the loss of their star player, the Warriors managed to secure a Game 1 win. Coach Kerr indicated the team is prepared to adjust its strategy and lineup in Curry’s absence, highlighting the team’s experience in adapting to unforeseen circumstances. The Warriors have shown resilience in the past when playing without Curry and expressed confidence in their ability to overcome this challenge. Minnesota’s Jimmy Butler acknowledged the importance of Curry to the Warriors but expressed confidence in his team’s ability to “hold down the fort” until his return. The series continues Thursday with Game 2 in Minneapolis.
