ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania has reported that the earliest Curry would return is for Game 6. This is a massive blow to the Warriors' chances in this series and could have a direct impact on their season.

The Golden State Warriors lost their first game of this second-round series against the Minnesota Timberwolves by a disappointing 117-93 margin. The absence of Stephen Curry played an obvious impact in this one.

The Warriors announced an MRI revealed it was a Grade 1 hamstring strain and that the injury would be reevaluated in a week. That timeline meant he would miss Games 2, 3 and 4 with Game 5—scheduled one week from the announcement—up in the air.
