Warriors vs Wolves: Will Stephen Curry Play Tonight? Latest Update on Golden State’s Star Guard
The word MRI means havoc to sports fans. When their favorite star is reported to undergo different tests, including an MRI, to check the severity of the injury, fans pray that it will not be a major setback. A similar situation occurred when the Golden State Warriors reported their star marksman, Stephen Curry, will have an MRI after an injury in game 1 of the Warriors vs Wolves series.
Stephen Curry sustained the injury on Tuesday. In the next game, scheduled just two days from game 1, Curry was out of the rotation. The Warriors won game 1 and were hammered in game 2, hinting at major adjustments during Curry’s absence. Fans and the team will be hoping to see ‘number 30’ playing as early as possible. Here are the chances of Stephen Curry playing in Game 3 against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Will Stephen Curry Play Tonight Against the Minnesota Timberwolves in a Playoff Game?
The MRI results were out on the right before game 2, and as per the reports, Stephen Curry is set to remain out for the next three games of the playoff series against the Wolves. The MRI examination was conducted on Tuesday in Minnesota only after the four-time champion experienced a mild strain in his left hamstring.
So, Stephen Curry is expected to potentially return for Game 6 on May 17. Can the Warriors hold off the Wolves till game 6? Coach Steve Kerr thinks so. “We think we have the best defense in the league, and that’s been proven over the last couple of months,” Kerr said. If we go by the team’s playoff history without Curry, they previously navigated his injuries in 2016 and 2018, going 9-3 without him. Interestingly, the Warriors were the finalists in both seasons, winning the title in 2018. The teams are different, though, and still it will be a monumental task for Jimmy and co. to cope with Curry’s injury.
