Several fans responded to an update on Shams Charania’s Stephen Curry. One fan simply wrote, “Injuries ruin the greatest playoff matchup of all time.”
Timberwolves fans expressed their disappointment with the series, writing, “I’m a Timberwolves fan and I hate this.”
Another fan warned that this could spell the end of the Golden State line, saying, “The warriors are cooked. I’m going to leave all the series behind.”
Many fans believe the Timberwolves have a great advantage for the rest of the series, writing that “Minnesota is on the way now.”
Another fan simply said “the series over.” Some fans still have hope. One fan said, “This will definitely suck a guy. I need a great series, hoping for Steph’s quick recovery!”

Stephen Curry reportedly has a strained hamstring. Typically, this injury can be divided into two types: Grade 1 strains are soft and take 7-10 days to recover.
However, Grade 2 strains take 3-6 weeks. This means that curry may miss at least four games, including tonight.
This will be a major blow to the warrior. Stephen Curry is their best player and most important performer.
Curry was monumental in Game 7 victory over Rocket. Without him, Jimmy Butler would have to deliver the performance he saw in the Miami Heat a few years ago.
