Fatigued Golden State players took Wednesday off after a physical 99-88 Game 1 victory over the Timberwolves, but coach Steve Kerr and his staff went to work determining how the Warriors will play on without superstar Stephen Curry for the next three games and possibly the rest of the best-of-seven series.

Yes, the report could've been worse. As far as hamstrings go, a Grade 1 strain is preferable to a Grade 2 or 3, but it sounds like the Warriors are expecting at least a one-week absence. And based on the history of this injury, he could miss the rest of the second round.

Golden State’s superstar guard will miss at least a week after he strained his hamstring during Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
