Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry suffered a Grade 1 left hamstring and will be ruled out for Game 2 of his team's Western Conference Semifinals series against the Minnesota Timberwolves Thursday (May 8) night, sources with knowledge of the situation confirmed to ESPN's Shams Charania on Wednesday (May 7).
Curry, 37, is expected to miss at least one week, however, his return timetable has not yet been determined, according to Charania.
"Golden State's Stephen Curry has sustained a Grade 1 left hamstring strain and will be ruled out for Game 2 against Minnesota on Thursday, sources tell ESPN. It's the first strained muscle of Curry's career, so exact return timetable is unclear due to first rehab like this," Charania wrote on his X account. "The Warriors expect Stephen Curry to miss at least one week with the Grade 1 left hamstring strain, sources tell ESPN. An exact return will be based on how their All-NBA guard responds to rehab with his first muscle strain."

Curry suffered the injury during the second quarter of the Warriors' eventual 99-88 win against the Timberwolves Tuesday (May 6) night on a driving 14-foot floater. The four-time NBA champion finished Game 1 with 13 points, one assist and one rebound in 13 minutes.
"He's obviously crushed," said Steve Kerr after the game via ESPN. "But the guys picked him up and played a great game, and obviously we're all concerned about Steph but it's part of the game."
