The Warriors stole game 1, but they lost Stephen Curry for game 2.

One day after Curry injured the 99-88 victory of Golden State against the Timberwolves with an injury, an MRI wedge a left thigh load. Curry will not play in game 2 on Thursday evening, and the Warriors said that he would be re -evaluated in a week and park it for at least the next two games.

The 37-year-old curry is an eleven-time all-star and the leading offensive threat to the Warriors, and its availability has a massive effect on the playoff hopes of the Golden State-in of his semi-finals of the Western Conference against Minnesota and beyond.

According to Certified Athletic, the average time for NBA players with a thigh tribes in first class 1 is about 10 days, according to Certified Athletic Athletic Trainer Jeff Stotts, who maintains a comprehensive database of NBA injuries. Game 3 is Saturday, May 10th; Game 4 is Monday, May 12th; Game 5, if necessary, is Wednesday, May 14th; And game 6, if necessary, is Sunday, May 18th.

Although the Warriors have no official timeline for his return, Curry could return for a potential game 5, game 6 or game 7.

“I think we all want to go back (No. 30),” said Warriors star Jimmy Butler after Golden State's Game 1 win on Tuesday. “But we want him to do his best for himself, preferably for our group. Until then, we can hold on. I know we can.”

Curry left the game on Tuesday evening in Minneapolis with 8:19 in the second quarter. During this time he had packed several times in his left thigh area, and after Warriors striker Draymond Green had made a 3 pointer and Minnesota Timeout called Timeout, Curry let the game with the Warriors on 30 to 20.

Before leaving the game, Curry had 13 points in 5-on-9 recordings, including 3-on-6 for 3-to-engines. After his last shot, he meant the Warriors coach Steve Kerr, and Brandin Podziemski checked in when Curry went into the changing room.

Curry had another outstanding season (24.5 points, 6.0 assists, 4.6 rebounds per game and 39.7% 3-point shootout), and his ability to play at his age like this is a main reason why the Warriors Butler acquired in a trade-dead-deal from Miami in February. Since the acquisition of Butler, the Warriors have been one of the best teams in the league.

After game 1, Kerr said that Curry was daily, but besides the planned MRI did not state any additional details.

“I spoke to him at halftime,” said Kerr. “He is obviously crushed, but the boys lifted him and played a great game. Obviously we are all concerned about Steph, but it is part of the game. Guys are injured, you continue.

“Our boys did a great job and achieved a great victory 48 hours after a street victory in game 7. It is an amazing group of boys. These boys – they come together, they are together. We were the best defense in the league since the Jimmy trade, and that is currently overwater.”
