Curry 1.99 miles in one game, and the first-level hamstring strain on the Timberwolves may have run too much when he fights the Rockets

Bryan Windhorst talks about Stephen Curry's shocking data that are related to his continued athleticism that could have caused his injury.

According to ClutchPoints senior NBA reporter Brett Segal, the Warriors received bad news on Wednesday afternoon, and Stephen Curry announced a first-degree hamstring strain and will be out for at least one week.

The injury caused trouble for the Warriors, who would have had a key victory in their first game against the Timberwolves on Tuesday night. But with incredible three-point shooting ability and continuous off-ball run, Curry remains an important part of the Warriors' offense. Brian Windhorst believes this is likely to be the cause of his hamstring injury, pointing to the amazing statistics Stephen Curry has achieved in the first round.

"I'm not a medical expert. I'm not pretending, and I'm not saying it has anything to do with injury. I'm just saying a fact. Stephen Curry ran 1.99 miles in that game when the Warriors challenged Houston away and won Game 7 on Sunday," Windhorst said on The Hoop Collective.

"This is the one he ran the most in a single game since we started tracking him, not even knowing it was ten years ago. The guy was obviously in great shape. He played amazingly in that game, snatched 10 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals. This is the longest running distance we've ever seen him run. He's 36 years old, but he suffered a hamstring strain 48 hours later."

Brian Windhorst made it clear that he was not a medical expert, but he suggested that certain factors might have caused a hamstring strain. Bobby Max added that this was his first hamstring strain despite missing 245 games in his career.

Curry's injury is at a critical moment for the Warriors. Although they won the Minnesota Timberwolves and had a home advantage, it is hard to imagine the team maintaining such momentum without Curry. Whether Warriors star Jimmy Butler can live up to the reputation of "playoff Jimmy" and whether the Warriors' lineup depth can remain efficient depends on whether they can end the series as soon as possible and give Curry a rest.
