The Minnesota Timberwolves suffered a tough setback in Game 1 against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday as Naz Reid was forced to exit with an apparent injury. The former Sixth Man of the Year checked out midway through the second quarter and went straight to the locker room,
He was visibly favoring his left hamstring, coincidentally the same issue that sidelined Steph Curry earlier in the game. Naz Reid’s injury occurred after he crashed into courtside fans while chasing a loose ball. He hit the floor hard, struggled to get back on his feet, and appeared to be in significant discomfort as he tried to move around.
Unable to continue, Reid left the game after logging 14:39 minutes, finishing with six points on 3 of 5 shooting from the floor, including 0 of 1 from beyond the arc. He also recorded four rebounds and one steal before walking back to the locker room.
