The Golden State Warriors just got some series-altering news, as Stephen Curry will miss at least a week with a Grade 1 hamstring strain, the team announced Wednesday. The update means Curry will be sidelined at least through Game 4 of the Warriors' second-round playoff series against the Timberwolves. Game 4 is scheduled for Monday, May 12.

The second round is set in the 2025 NBA playoff bracket. The West has a familiar look as the Oklahoma City Thunder, Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves are all in the second round for the second year in a row. There will be a new Western Conference champion, however, because the Golden State Warriors have replaced the Dallas Mavericks, who went to the Finals last season. The Thunder -- who lost to the Mavs last year in this round -- square off with the Nuggets this time around.
