Steph Curry Ruled Out For Game Two With Hamstring Injury, Warriors Win Game One

Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry has been ruled out of game two after sustaining a grade one hamstring strain. Curry will be re-evaluated in one week, according to the team.

The Warriors, who won game one of their series against the Minnesota Timberwolves, will likely be without Curry until at least game five.

Curry exited the game with 8:19 remaining in the second quarter. In just 13 minutes, Curry had 13 points on 5-9 from the field.

“We’re definitely game-planning for him to not be available on Thursday, but we don’t know yet,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said after Tuesday’s game. “With a hamstring, it’s hard to imagine that he would play Thursday.”

Despite losing Curry early in the game, the Warriors dominated throughout, winning 99-88.

The Timberwolves finished the first half with 31 points, their lowest in the first half this season. Their previous lowest total was 37 points, which also came against the Warriors.

The Warriors led by as much as 23, and despite the Timberwolves cutting the lead to nine points with six minutes left, they were never able to get closer than that.

Jimmy Butler for the Warriors finished with a double-double of 20 points and 11 rebounds. Buddy Hield, who was the Warriors’ leading scorer in game seven against the Houston Rockets, once again led the Warriors with 24 points.

Anthony Edwards for the Timberwolves finished with a double-double, scoring 23 points and 14 rebounds.

As a team, the Timberwolves shot 39.5% from the field and 17.2% from three. Over the last two games, the Timberwolves are 12/76 from three.

“That’s how it goes. You have stretches where you shoot the ball well and stretches where you don’t,” Edwards said. “Tonight we didn’t shoot the ball well, but tonight is over. Next game we’ll shoot the ball really well.”
