Stephen Curry's 34 Points Not Enough In Game 1
Stephen Curry connected on 8-for-18 shooting en route to 34 points in the 118-109 Game 1 loss to the Raptors on Thursday. Curry also contributed five assists with five rebounds with a single steal and three turnovers in 40 minutes of action. The Raptors did a decent job trapping Curry on ball screens, yet the sniper still scored 30-plus points for the sixth straight game. We can expect the Warriors to make some adjustments to get Curry even better looks and also to find ways to get Klay Thompson more involved on the offensive end for Game 2 on Sunday.

Stephen Curry Officially Ruled Out For Game 5
Stephen Curry (hamstring) has been listed as out on the official injury report for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He is scheduled for re-evaluation on Wednesday regarding the Grade 1 hamstring strain that Curry sustained on May 6 during the series opener against Minnesota. The Warriors have lost three games in a row without Curry, and their season will be over if another defeat follows on Wednesday night. If Golden State can pull off a road win on Wednesday, Curry would have three additional days to rehab his injury, as Game 6 is not scheduled until Sunday. Jonathan Kuminga has broken into the rotation during Curry's absence and may play an important role again in Game 5. At the same time, the Warriors starters will likely get all the minutes they can handle, given that this is an elimination game.

Stephen Curry Remains Out On Monday, As Expected
Stephen Curry (hamstring) remains out for Monday's meeting with the Timberwolves. ESPN's Shams Charania reported that the multi-time All-Star was targeting a Game 6 return. However, he will have some hurdles to clear. On top of that, the Wolves are up 2-1 in the series, meaning Golden State will need a win in Games 4 or 5. In the meantime, Quinten Post or Trayce Jackson-Davis are the favorites to start. But Jimmy Butler III, Buddy Hield, and Jonathan Kuminga, who had 30 points in Game 3, should benefit the most on the scoring end until Curry can get back on the floor.

Stephen Curry Unsure When He Can Return From Injury
Stephen Curry (hamstring) is unsure when he can make it back on the court. "This is new, and from all that I'm learning about how quickly you can get back, there has to be a healing process," Curry said on Thursday before Game 2 against the Minnesota Timberwolves. "You can't accelerate it more than what it's telling you. So it'll be one of those, after a week, really reevaluating every day to understand when it's safe just to even think about playing, let alone how much can you push it." On Wednesday, the Warriors officially ruled him out for one week, meaning Curry won't be able to help his team until at least Game 5 of the second-round series. Game 6 could be a more realistic return target for him, as there will be a three-day break after next Wednesday's Game 5, giving Curry a total of 12 days to recover from his first career hamstring injury.

Stephen Curry Ruled Out For At Least One Week
Stephen Curry (hamstring) will miss at least one week of action. He was diagnosed with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain on Wednesday, and the team announced that Curry will be re-evaluated in one week. This means he is set to miss at least three games in the Western Conference semifinals against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Game 5 in the matchup is scheduled for next Wednesday, and it's possible Curry will then be ready to return. Curry's injury is a big blow for the Warriors, but they have seen Buddy Hield step up big time in recent games and still have Jimmy Butler III to lead the way.
