SAN FRANCISCO - About 90 minutes prior to tip on Saturday night, Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry went through a pretty strenuous workout on the team's practice court in the dungeons of Chase Center. It is the clearest initial step in what Curry hopes to be an expedited return from the hamstring strain that has come to define this second round series against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Curry didn't push it to full speed, according to a team source.

MINNEAPOLIS - In the aftermath of a Game 1 survival, Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr was delivered the MRI news he already feared. Steph Curry's strained hamstring would sideline him for several games and force Kerr to completely readjust his strategy against a long, active Minnesota Timberwolves defense that no longer had Curry to obsess over and contain.

MINNEAPOLIS - Steph Curry attended the Warriors' morning shootaround in Minnesota on Thursday. He rebounded for Brandin Podziemski and helped guide Buddy Hield through a shooting routine. He's around - but probably more to lift his own spirits than his team's. It's clear Curry is still wrestling with the depressing nature of his latest injury, jeopardizing one of his final, and maybe best, chances at a fifth NBA title.

Curry's timetable to return is up in the air, but the team is expecting him to miss multiple games, the source said.

Steve Kerr on Jimmy Butler (nine shots tonight): “He wasn’t as aggressive tonight but I didn’t see a lot of openings.” Lack of shooting/spacing around Butler and available to Kerr was a repeat postgame talking point https://t.co/59iUU7bCXu
Draymond Green on not wanting Steph Curry to rush back despite GSW facing elimination: “We don’t need Superman. Play the long game. If he can, we know he will. But we gotta figure out a way to win whether he plays or not.” https://t.co/7SDSpWeDbU
Warriors had to survive in this series without Curry on the defensive end. The Timberwolves just put up 70 combined points in the second/third quarters. They have 97 with 12 minutes left. Up 20 and nearing commanding 3-1 series lead.
