Stephen Curry Injury: What Happened To Steph Curry? Latest Update on Warriors’ Star
In a significant setback for the Golden State Warriors, Stephen Curry exited Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Minnesota Timberwolves due to a left hamstring strain. The injury occurred early in the second quarter when Curry, after making a three-pointer, was seen clutching his left hamstring.
He attempted to continue but soon signaled for a substitution and headed to the locker room. The Warriors later confirmed that Curry would not return for the remainder of the game.
Before his departure, Curry had tallied 13 points on 5-of-9 shooting, including 3-of-6 from beyond the arc, along with one rebound and one assist in just under 13 minutes of play. His absence leaves a considerable void in the Warriors’ offense, especially given his pivotal role in their recent playoff success.

The Warriors, who are coming off a grueling seven-game series against the Houston Rockets, now face the challenge of adjusting their strategy without their star point guard. The extent of Curry’s injury and his availability for the remainder of the series remain uncertain, casting a shadow over Golden State’s playoff aspirations.
Hamstring Recovery Time
Stephen Curry’s injury has been diagnosed as a left hamstring strain, a setback that can vary in recovery time depending on severity. If it’s a Grade 1 strain, Curry could return within 1–3 weeks with rest and light rehab. However, if it’s a Grade 2 strain, which involves more muscle damage, recovery could stretch to 4–8 weeks. A Grade 3 tear, though less common, would be far more serious and potentially sideline him for several months.
Game 2 is scheduled to take place on Thursday night at the Target Center in Minnesota. The Warriors will need to regroup and find ways to compensate for Curry’s potential absence as they continue their quest for another championship.
