Steph Curry's left hamstring injury during Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Minnesota Timberwolves has left the Golden State Warriors scrambling. The two-time MVP exited the game and will be re-evaluated in a week after being diagnosed with a Grade 1 hamstring strain. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr expressed concern for Curry, while Draymond Green remained confident, citing Jimmy Butler's capability to lead the team.

Curry has been pivotal, averaging 22.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 5.1 assists in the playoffs. His absence marks the first postseason game without him since 2018. The Warriors still managed to defeat the Houston Rockets in the previous round, but with Curry sidelined, their depth will be tested as they look to advance.
