Golden State Warriors are facing significant adjustments in the wake of Stephen Curry's hamstring injury as they prepare for their Western Conference semifinal against Minnesota. Coach Steve Kerr made drastic changes to the lineup, utilizing 11 different players in the first quarter of Game 1. Despite a tough 117-93 loss, some players, notably Jonathan Kuminga, who scored 18 points, and Trayce Jackson-Davis, who added 15 points, showcased potential. Kerr indicated that without Curry, the team must find a new formula, highlighting the importance of Kuminga and Jackson-Davis in future games.

As the Warriors gear up for their next matchup on Saturday, Kerr's focus will be on integrating these players into a new strategy. The postseason experience of Kuminga, who played key roles in previous playoff runs, may provide a crucial advantage, while Jackson-Davis is stepping into a significant scoring role, showing he can be effective even without previous playoff experience.
