Golden State Warriors point guard Steph Curry suffered a left hamstring injury in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The two-time MVP and four-time champion exited the game and did not return.

One of LeBron James' former championship teammates was watching the game and reacted to Curry getting hurt. James' Cleveland Cavaliers played Curry's Warriors in four straight NBA Finals in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018.

The Cavaliers won the 2016 NBA Finals, becoming the first team in NBA history to erase a 3-1 series deficit in the Finals. Mo Williams, who was on the 2016 Cleveland team, reacted to Curry's injury on Monday.

Steph hobbled, interesting. Playoffs is about health.

The Warriors announced on Tuesday that Curry suffered a Grade 1 hamstring strain in Game 1. He will be re-evaluated in one week.

A future Hall of Famer, Curry is averaging 22.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.1 assists in the 2025 playoffs while shooting 47.7% from the field, 40.0% from 3 and 89.3% from the foul line. The Warriors defeated the Houston Rockets in the first round in seven games.

"He's obviously crushed," Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said about Curry. "But the guys picked him up and played a great game, and obviously we're all concerned about Steph but it's part of the game."

Golden State hasn't played a postseason game without Curry since 2018. Draymond Green, who has won four titles with Curry, isn't panicking since he has Jimmy Butler by his side.

"We know what Jimmy's capable of," Green said. "Jimmy's capable of carrying a team. He carried a team to the Finals twice. So we won't panic. We will figure out what that means."
