00:00Stephen Curry after an MRI on Wednesday suffering a grade one left hamstring strain and he will be
00:07out for at least one week even in the most optimistic timeline that confirms that Steph
00:12Curry will miss game two three and four the earliest he could potentially return game five
00:19but probably not unless this series sees six or seven games Dr. Donnie yeah you are always on it
00:25when it comes to a calf strain a hamstring strain a muscle strain that for the first time weirdly
00:30in Steph's NBA career he is now suffering any sort of muscle strain I ask you maybe a more
00:37pessimistic question than the actual update we have right there Steph Curry out for the entirety of
00:43this year you can mask this injury which means it's not devastating enough where you are going
00:49to lose your leg if you play understand this you're getting older in your career which means
00:54you might not have too many chances to make it to the Eastern Conference Finals or win another
00:58championship so the problem that's going to lie is you're going to get down let's just say two to one
01:03or three to one my guys are out there with me I got to give it a go but understand this you know what
01:07the worst thing that I heard was from this injury Steph Curry going like never had this before because
01:12nobody understands it if it's your first time you feel a little bit of a pinch going like just a
01:16cramp like give it a day I'll get a massage I'll take some Tylenol and I'll be good to go for the next
01:21game the minute that you hear hamstring injury you automatically place it at one week and if it's
01:26any sort of any type of strain and you're a good player and you need to play a lot you can set that
01:30at two weeks right now I don't think he comes back to the series but I can't make that official
01:34statement because there's one thing I do know he won't be 100% for the series he won't even be 75%
01:39but given it the old Willis Reed out there because my team needs me he might make an appearance but if
01:43you are a basketball player here's the thing we talked about yesterday on the show we saw Steve Kerr
01:47postgame press conference and he's talking about you know in the tank like this was a win that they
01:52got and he was deflated already because he knows what's on the horizon my best players probably not
01:56going to be available this is going to be a really uphill climb but also understanding the task at hand
02:00at this point saying you know other guys now have to step up but for Steph Curry himself there's no
02:05way you can play offense okay I can knock down a three-point shot you know what they do on defense
02:09in the NBA they will get you one-on-one for the next three quarters and break you down where they know
02:15you can't actually play defense on that hamstring it's a tough strain that he's going to have I
02:19don't think he plays again but if he does he's just toughing it out six minutes eight minutes 15
02:24minutes one for three from three-point range hey guys I was here for you that's all I can do
