BREAKING: Warriors Deliver Disappointing Update on Steph Curry…

Warriors Face Do-or-Die Showdown Without Curry: Star Guard Out as Elimination Looms in Game 5

Golden State Warriors star guard Stephen Curry has officially been ruled out for the critical Game 5 against the Minnesota Timberwolves on May 14. The team faces elimination in this win-or-go-home matchup, and Curry’s absence due to a grade one hamstring strain marks the fourth consecutive game he will miss. The news was first reported by Anthony Slater of The Athletic on X (formerly Twitter), confirming the Warriors will have to fight for their playoff survival without their veteran leader.

Curry had been a standout performer before his injury, averaging 22.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 5.1 assists over eight postseason games. He was shooting an impressive 40% from three on 10 attempts per game and 60% inside the arc, demonstrating his continued offensive efficiency despite his age. His presence on the court has always been a game-changer, both in terms of production and morale.

Without Curry, head coach Steve Kerr has had to adjust his rotation, giving more responsibility to rising forward Jonathan Kuminga, who has embraced the challenge with energy and athleticism. Still, Curry’s leadership and shooting prowess are difficult to replace. With the team’s season hanging in the balance, the Warriors will need players like Kuminga and veteran help — potentially even a Butler-esque breakout performance — to step up and carry the load. The plan remains to push the series to Game 6 or 7 in hopes of Curry’s return, but getting there without him will take a collective effort and near-flawless execution.
