ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania has reported that the earliest Curry would return is for Game 6. This is a massive blow to the Warriors' chances in this series and could have a direct impact on their season.

Despite winning Game 1 in the second round against the Timberwolves, the Warriors find themselves in a tough position. Stephen Curry is dealing with a Grade 1 hamstring strain, and Golden State is still viewed as the underdog in the matchup.

So, can the Warriors still win the series, even though they’ll be without their superstar for much of it? Yes. Yes they can. But it won’t be easy at all. With Game 2 at 5:30 p.m. PT tonight, we’ll soon get our first glimpse of how the rest of the series might go.
