Stephen Curry to miss the next three Playoff series against Timberwolves

Stephen Curry suffered the injury on Tuesday evening against Timberwolves in game 1 of round 2 Playoff series. The injury forced Curry to leave the pitch in the second quarter of the game. Although they lost their talisman, the Warriors kept their nerves to secure a comfortable victory with a goal line of 99-88. Curry looked good before the injury. He contributed 13 points in 13 minutes and gave his side an early advantage.

“Every year the playoffs are concerned with adaptation as to whether it is a game schedule or injury or a list. Therefore we only have to adapt,” said coach Steve Kerr. “We have already done it and we are confident that we can do it again.”

The series plan has game 2 in Minneapolis on Thursday, followed by the games 3 and 4 in San Francisco on Saturday and Monday. Stephen Curry will probably return on May 14th for game 5, three days before game 6 on May 18.

Can the warriors hold up without a curry?

Steph Curry has never suffered a significant thigh injury in his career, so that fans over the length of the absence and whether the warriors could keep up without the presence of the leading 3-point 3 point shooter in NBA history.

“We think we have the best defense in the league, and that has been proven in the past few months,” said Kerr.

The Warriors previously navigated Curry's playoff injuries in 2016 and 2018, went 9: 3 without him and both reached the NBA final and ultimately won the title in 2018.
