What is Steph Curry's injury?

Stephen Curry left Tuesday's Game 1 with a left hamstring strain.

It occurred at some point early in the second quarter. Curry's limp showed up most clearly after making a floater attempt.

It's not obvious whether the tweak came on Curry's plant or landing.

When it happened, Curry limped away, gestured for a sub, played one more possession at each end and then stumbled toward the locker room.

Less than half an hour after Curry disappeared, he was ruled out for the game.

Depending on the level of the strain, they can linger for days or weeks.

Players can try to get through it on the court, but there's always the risk of re-straining it, too.

Warriors point guard depth chart

The Golden State Warriors have always had a number of different offensive initiators.

Draymond Green, Jimmy Butler and Brandin Podziemski are all capable of being playmakers just out of Golden State's starting lineup.

Off the bench, Gary Payton II and Moses Moody both have some point guard skills, as well.

Curry clearly is much more than just a point guard, considering he's also the greatest shooter of all time. It'll be hard for Golden State to keep its floor spacing without Curry.
