Stephen Curry is considered day-to-day after suffering a left hamstring strain during the Golden State Warriors' Game 1 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, coach Steve Kerr said postgame, according to ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk.

"He’s obviously crushed," Kerr said Tuesday. The Warriors coach added that Curry will get an MRI on Wednesday.

"We're definitely game-planning for him to not be available on Thursday," Kerr said, per Ben Golliver of The Washington Post. "We don't know yet. With a hamstring, it's hard to imagine he would play Thursday."

Curry grabbed the back of his left leg while on defense and then asked to be subbed out after making a basket on the next possession.

Curry has managed a knee injury throughout the campaign, while a pelvic contusion sidelined the All-Star guard for two contests late in the regular season.

The 37-year-old also re-injured his right thumb in the second-last game of the regular season and has been wearing a wrap around it during the playoffs.

Curry had 13 points in 13 minutes at the time of his departure. He entered Tuesday averaging 24 points, 5.9 boards, 5.7 assists, and 1.1 steals over his first seven postseason appearances.

There's only one day of rest between each matchup from Games 1 to 5. A potential Game 6 would happen three days after the previous matchup.
