Stephen Curry played only 12:54 before leaving with a hamstring
He still has more 3s than the Minnesota Timberwolves through 3 quarters – 11:38 PM

Stephen Curry leaves game with hamstring strain, will not return
A standard recovery from a hamstring strain is at least seven days and usually more like 10.

Without Curry, the Warriors scored 36 points that quarter and lead the Wolves 80-60 after three. Buddy Hield with 16 of his 18 in the third. – 11:34 PM

Warriors starters to open the second half
Brandin Podziemski
Buddy Hield
Jimmy Butler

Steve Kerr leaning defense to open. It seems likely he will go to Kuminga again in search of scoring with Curry down. – 10:58 PM

Have to imagine there will be at least one missed game for Curry and probably more. Rule of thumb for me is at least a week and probably 2 if a guy has to leave with a muscle injury. Looks to be lower grade since he could still move pretty well. – 10:56 PM

There’s just one day of rest between each game from Game 1 through Game 5. After that, there’s a three-day break between Games 5 and 6. We’ll have to see the severity of a Stephen Curry’s hamstring strain. – 10:47 PM

Warriors held the Timberwolves to 31 first half points. They missed all 15 of their 3s. But Steph Curry left with a hamstring strain, upping the pressure on GSW — currently up 44-31 at halftime — to close this Game 1 road win with real likelihood Curry could miss time. – 10:43 PM

Naz Reid just checked out of the game and went immediately to the Wolves locker room and appeared to be favoring his left hamstring as well, just like Steph Curry earlier. – 10:38 PM

“The Timberwolves have to have a habit of knowing where Steph Curry is. … They have to slow this masterful shooter down.”

Curry wouldn’t tip his hand on how hurt his thumb is. Said it’s “in a great place” but admits it gets hit frequently – 1:07 PM

Steph Curry on his right thumb, which is still wrapped and swollen: “It’s in a great place.”
Does it only hurt when it gets hit?
“Yeah and it’s almost impossible for it not to. But I’ll be good.” pic.x.com/P2J93eW3xk – 1:05 PM

More on this storyline
Dalton Johnson: Asked Steph Curry how the Warriors are feeling after a seven-game series with one day off before Round 2: “Feeling good, we got through it. Emptied the tank in Game 7 like you’re supposed to, but it’s nice to actually keep a rhythm.” -via Bluesky / May 6, 2025

Stephen Curry, whose epic performance in the gold-medal game at the Paris Olympics last summer was a reminder that he was still truly great, had every reason to wonder if that would be the last meaningful game he might play in his career. “We’re still trying to do it,” Curry said. “So you can tell there’s such a care factor for every guy on this team that starts with me, Draymond, (Kevon) Looney, who has been here with us, and now obviously (with) Jimmy and his playoff experience. So I had to rely on that as long as this ride continues. You know you’re figuring out the chessboard in between the series, and sticking with it, and not letting go of the rope (while) being able to turn the page from one game to the next and meet the moment. It’s so much fun out here. -via New York Times / May 5, 2025
