Steph Curry was relegated to a role on the bench yet again on Saturday night as the Golden State Warriors superstar was forced to miss his second straight game due to a hamstring strain. Curry suffered the injury in Game 1, and he was sidelined for Game 2 as the Warriors suffered a deflating 117-93 blowout loss against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Well, ESPN's Shams Charania estimated on Saturday evening that a possible Game 6 return on May 18 is the earliest that Curry could come back for Golden State at this point. He'll be evaluated again on Wednesday to see where he is in his recovery.

The Warriors don't yet know how long Curry will be out. But now they'll have to keep a promising season alive without him.
