The NBA qualifiers: Warriors star Stephen Curry leaves match 1 against Timberwolves early, excluded with an hamstrings injury
The star of the Golden State Warriors, Stephen Curry, drink from the ground at the Target Center at the start of the first half on Tuesday evening with an hamstiff injury.
Curry, in the second quarter of the match of the Warriors match 1 with the Minnesota Timberwolves in the semi-final of the West Conference, suddenly stopped and reached its left hamstrings in defense. He tried to lift the ball on the ground, and seemed uncomfortable, then reached it after trying and failed, making a float in the middle of the track.

Curry then immediately called a submarine and drinkd the floor directly in the locker room during the next step.
The Warriors quickly took it out of the game with a tension of the left hamstrings before half-time. We do not know how serious the injury is, or how long it can be sidelined. He collected 13 points, a rebound and a decisive step by pulling 5 out of 9 on the field with three 3 points when he left.
If Curry is absent for an important time, he could quickly change the series. The Warriors are only 48 hours from their victory on the road on Houston's Rockets in match 7 of the previous series, so Curry was not resting much. He played 46 minutes in this competition. There is only one day of rest between each game in this series until match 5 too, so there is not much time to recover Curry.

Timberwolves striker Naz Reid left the match in the first half with an apparent injury to the hamstrings. He plunged for a loose bullet and struck the fans seated on the edge of the court, then drinkd and returned to the locker room. He returned to the bench for the second half and was available to return.
Although he faced himself against a team of Warriors without curry, the Timberwolves could not take advantage of it on Tuesday. The Minnesota had only 11 points in the second quarter as a group, which left them only 31 points at the break. Anthony Edwards was also detained in the first 24 minutes, after shooting 0 out of 8 on the field. The Timberwolves went 0 out of 15 behind the arc as a team.
The Warriors took an advance of 44-31 at halftime. The 31 points they granted were the least of all time in the era of the shooting chronometer in the history of the team.
