The Golden State Warriors will be without guard Stephen Curry for at least one week due to a Grade 1 left hamstring strain, Afrosport reports.
Curry sustained the injury during the second quarter of the Warriors’ 99-88 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 1 of their Western Conference semifinals on Tuesday.
Golden State, however, revealed the nature of the injury on Wednesday after the 37-year-old underwent an MRI.
The 11-time All-Star has been diagnosed with a hamstring injury for the first time in his career, and the Warriors revealed that the timeline for his return will be based on how he responds to treatment.
Stephen Curry, who exited last night’s game against the Timberwolves with 8:19 remaining in the second quarter with a strained left hamstring, underwent an MRI this morning.

Curry, who has been ruled out of Thursday’s Game 2, is set to be sidelined through at least Game 4 next Monday.
The Warriors will evaluate their star guard after a week, with Game 5 set for May 14, followed by a three-day break before Game 6 on May 18, with Game 7 on May 20.
Curry exited the game at Target Centre with 13 points in 13 minutes, and he will miss his first playoff game since the 2018 Western Conference semifinals, when he had a knee injury.
