Golden State Warriors star guard Stephen Curry missed a playoff game for the first time since 2018 due to a hamstring injury he sustained in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Curry called it a “gut punch” ahead of Game 2 against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday, which they lost 117-93. The Warriors will have to press on without the longtime star for a week, which could impact the seven-game series.
