The Golden State Warriors suffered a significant setback in their playoff opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves as two-time MVP Steph Curry exited the game with a left hamstring strain. Curry's absence after the second quarter is a major blow to the Warriors, who rely heavily on his scoring and playmaking abilities. Meanwhile, the Timberwolves faced a similar fate as Naz Reid, who was pivotal in their previous series against the Los Angeles Lakers, also left the game with a leg injury just before halftime.

Reid had been averaging 11.6 points and shooting 50% from three during the playoffs, making him a crucial asset off the bench. The prospect of losing both players for an extended period could drastically alter the dynamics for both teams as they navigate the playoffs. Updates on their injuries are eagerly awaited by fans and fantasy managers alike.
