Steph Curry injury update: Warriors star guard leaves Game 1 with apparent hamstring injury, ruled out

The Warriors will be without star guard Stephen Curry for the remainder of Game 1 against the Timberwolves.

Golden State is one of the few 7-seeds to ever make it out of the first round of the NBA playoffs, and now have the deck stacked against them for at least one night. 

Curry initially went to the locker room late in the first quarter after checking himself out of the game. Before the end of the first half, though, he was ruled out for the remainder of the game.

Stephen Curry injury updates

Curry appeared to tweak his hamstring while playing defense. The injury looked like it happened when he was cutting, and he instantly started grabbing at his hamstring. He tried to work it out on the next offensive possession. It ended with Curry taking a shot as he visibly looked uncomfortable.

Stephen Curry (left hamstring strain) will not return to tonight’s game.

He signaled to the bench for a sub, was taken out and went to the locker room. The hope was that it was going to be an injury he could work out like a cramp, but the fact that he was quickly ruled out for the rest of Game 1 is concerning for his availability for the rest of the series.
