ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania has reported that the earliest Curry would return is for Game 6. This is a massive blow to the Warriors' chances in this series and could have a direct impact on their season.

Warriors superstar guard Stephen Curry isn't expected to potentially play in this second-round series against the Timberwolves until Game 6 "at the earliest," according to ESPN insider Shams Charania.

The Golden State Warriors lost their first game of this second-round series against the Minnesota Timberwolves by a disappointing 117-93 margin. The absence of Stephen Curry played an obvious impact in this one.
