Par Mathieu Seguin | Rédacteur sport

As feared, Stephen Curry will miss several games with the Warriors, and potentially even the rest of the series. His team will have to hold the fort in his absence against the Timberwolves.

Despite their fine victory over the Wolves in Game 1, the Warriors were a little bitter when they returned to the locker room. Stephen Curry left the game with an injury, and knowing that we’re talking about his adductor muscle, we could already have feared a possible absence in the second round of the playoffs. A theory quickly confirmed for the point guard.

Curry will miss the Warriors’ next few games with a Level 1 injury, according to the franchise’s press release.We learn that he will be re-evaluated in a few days, but fans fear the worst in his absence.It looks like Jimmy Butler is going to have to get the job done and raise his game, just like Buddy Hield and co.

Warriors without Steph Curry for a while

Even Steve Kerr wants to be positive, confident that his players can hold their own and beat the Wolves without Curry. He’ll have to, because according to the franchise, a re-evaluation will take place in exactly one week’s time to take stock of the injury. This means Curry will miss at least the next 2 games, if not 3 depending on his response to treatment.

Warriors press release: “Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry, who left last night’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves with 8:19 remaining in the second quarter with a strained left adductor muscle, underwent an MRI this morning. The MRI confirmed a level 1 adductor injury. Curry will be re-evaluated in a week.”

Not the news fans were hoping for, who know that the second round of the playoffs will take a turn for the worse after this injury. We imagine that the franchise will do its utmost to resist and avoid elimination. After all, they still managed to beat Minnesota in Game 1 without Curry’s presence for a long time.

But fans will potentially have to be patient, as Curry could also miss the entire series. This is his first such injury according to insiders, which means his response to treatment is unknown.

@LegionHoops : “Stephen Curry could return for Game 6 or 7 if he misses the usual time for this type of injury.”
