Warriors guard Steph Curry says that rest will be key, and that team will evaluate the injury after a week’s rest

When Golden State guard Stephen Curry exited Tuesday's playoff game against the Timberwolves with an injury, the Warriors could have collapsed under the weight of missing one of the greatest players in NBA history. Instead, the Warriors stifled Minnesota, escaping from Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals with a 1-0 series lead.

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.
