12:27pm, 13 May 2025Basketball

On May 8, the NBA playoffs are in full swing, and another crazy night off the court has been in full swing. The Warriors officially updated Curry's injury, and his left hamstring suffered a first-degree strain, which will be re-evaluated in a week; Harden has another bleak record, with 4 fewer goals in his playoff career scoring up to 35 games; after the Lakers were eliminated in the first round, it was also rumored that the preseason arrangements for next season were made.

Warriors officially announced that Curry had a first-degree strain on his left hamstring and said that Curry would undergo a review in a week, which means he will be absent at least the G2, G3 and G4 with the Timberwolves.

This is also a big blow to the Warriors, which means they will face a situation without Curry next. Fortunately, they won the game in G1, at least put them in a good position. Curry's injury was also very depressed, and he shed tears in the locker room after yesterday's game.

Warriors coach Cole said: "What we can do now is prepare for tomorrow and the next game, strive to win the game, and give Stephen more time to recover and return. This is our focus." Obviously, if the Warriors want to wait until Curry returns, they need to win at least another game next, so that the series can continue, it depends on whether other players can stand up. In the last game, Hilder stood up, and next it depends on Butler, Pojemsky and others.

Harden was in a bad form in the first round tiebreak, making 2 of 8 shots, scoring 7 points, 5 rebounds and 13 assists. This is the 35th game in his playoff career with fewer than four goals, while James, Durant and Curry have only 10 games in total. From this we can see that Harden is still very bad in the playoffs. James played 292 games with only 5 games, Curry played 155 games and Durant played 2 games in 170 games. In contrast, Harden has as many as 35 games in 173 games.

NBA reporter Marc Stein reported that the Lakers and the Mavericks are expected to face off in advance in a preseason game held in Las Vegas in October this year. Obviously, the NBA also wants to make the preseason more interesting. The two teams made a big deal this season, and Davis and Doncic completed the swap. However, the final result was not good. The Lakers were eliminated directly in the first round, while the Mavericks were eliminated in the playoffs.
