The Golden State Warriors amazed the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday despite the loss of Star Stephen Curry An ischio-injury injury. Now they will have to prove that they can do it again.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr has offered an update of pessimistic injury on curry after Victory 99-88 of the team In match 1. While Curry was tried daily with the injury, Kerr does not expect the star shooter to be available for match 2.
“We don't know yet,” said Kerr. “But with an ischio-leg, it is difficult to imagine that it would play Thursday.”

Curry will undergo an MRI on Wednesday to determine the full extent of the injury. Even if it's sweet, the quick turnaround – the Warriors left on Wednesday before returning to the field on Thursday – could make Curry difficult to recover in time to play.
Curry left match 1 in the first half due to the injury. He could not return to the competition and played a little less than 13 minutes in victory. Curry finished the match with 13 points.
In his absence, Buddy Hield and Jimmy Butler intervened to direct the Warriors. Hield led all the scorers with 24 points and Butler cut with a triple-double, marking 20 points, entering 11 rebounds and distributing 8 assists.
Although Butler's presence certainly stimulates the chances of the Warriors, even he knows how important it is to have curry on the ground. After the victory, Butler said the team wanted his “best player” to come back.
“We want to come back Steph, I'm going to tell you,” said Jimmy Butler on TNT after the victory. “It's hard to play without this man.”
When asked what he had learned from match 1, Butler replied: “This Steph is our best player.”

Despite the absence of curry, the Warriors still managed to withdraw the victory, although it helped that Minnesota was released. The Timberwolves scored only 31 points in the first half, causing coach Chris Finch To call Star Anthony Edwards after the match. Edwards had only 1 point at halftime. He rebounded in the second half, finishing the match with 23 points and 14 rebounds.
Although they have withdrawn victory, the Warriors hope that Curry will be able to return as soon as possible. Tuesday proved that the team can always do the work without their star player, but it is not a sustainable formula for a team, especially in the playoffs.
