On Monday evening, the Warriors were home to face the Timberwolves in Game 4 of the West Semi-Final. Minnesota took Golden State a 2-1 series lead.
For the third straight time, the Warriors were without Steph Curry, a four-time NBA champion. He suffered a hamstring injury in a game 1 vs Minnesota. All signs point to Game 5 missing curry on Wednesday in Golden State. The Warriors need a victory to force Game 6 and give Curry extra time to recover. The 37-year-old said, “I wanted to be a Superman, but I couldn’t.”
Steph Curry is unlikely to play in the game 5 vs. Timberwolves

In Game 5, the Warriors tried to have a late rally, but lost 117-110. They are currently down 3-1 in the west semifinals of the Timberwolves. Golden State had no service for PG Stephen Curry in the last three games. He handles the tension in his hamstrings. The first muscle tension of a curry career. It came in an inappropriate time for warriors. It’s unlikely that Warriors’ Steph Curry will play ahead of Game 5 on Wednesday. This was reported by Ohm Young Misque of ESPN.
Curry told reporters that he “can’t” even if he wanted to be a Warriors Superman. The 11th All-Star is not yet ready to return to court. Golden State doesn’t want to risk Curry’s long-term injuries later this year. That means the Warriors may not have the Curry for Game 5 on Wednesday. Draymond Green said the curry was back and “no pressure.”
He said the Warriors need to learn how to win without curry. Golden State will need more production from Jimmy Butler in Game 5 and attempt to expand the series. After scoring 33 points in Game 3, Butler only scored nine shots in Game 4, earning 14 points. That type of production will not cut it as the Warriors are on the brink of exclusion. Game 5 is Wednesday evening and Golden State needs victory to keep the season alive.
