Golden State Warriors fans received a cautious update on Stephen Curry’s hamstring injury, with ESPN’s Shams Charania reporting the star guard could return as soon as Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals. The timeline remains uncertain, leaving the Warriors in a tough spot as they battle the Minnesota Timberwolves without their two-time MVP.
Stephen Curry’s injury timeline leaves Golden State Warriors in limbo
Stephen Curry suffered a hamstring strain during the series, marking his first experience with this specific injury. The Warriors announced he would be reevaluated after a week, which covers at least the first four games of the series. Charania’s update on confirmed that Game 6 is the earliest possible return date, assuming his recovery stays on track.
Stephen Curry acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding his comeback, emphasizing the need for patience. "This is new, and from all that I'm learning about how quickly you can get back, there has to be a healing process," he told reporters. "You can't accelerate it more than what it's telling you."

Golden State Warriors struggle without Stephen Curry in Game 2
The Golden State Warriors felt Curry’s absence immediately in Game 2, scoring just 15 points in the first quarter and falling into a double-digit deficit early. Minnesota capitalized on the lack of offensive firepower, controlling the game with little resistance.
Golden State’s chances of overcoming the Timberwolves diminish significantly without Curry, who remains the team’s most irreplaceable player. His shooting, playmaking, and leadership are nearly impossible to replicate, especially in a high-stakes playoff series.
Timberwolves could close series before Curry returns
With Curry sidelined for at least three more games, Minnesota has a clear path to ending the series before he’s cleared to play. The Golden State Warriors’ depth will be tested, but few teams can compensate for losing an 11-time All-Star in the postseason.
If the Timberwolves maintain their momentum, Curry’s potential Game 6 return might not matter. For now, Golden State faces an uphill battle to keep their playoff hopes alive without their franchise cornerstone.
What’s next for the Warriors?
Steph Curry’s injury has thrown Golden State’s playoff run into uncertainty, and the clock is ticking. Can the Warriors survive long enough for his potential Game 6 return, or will the Timberwolves close this out early? The next few games will reveal whether Golden State’s supporting cast can step up—or if this series is already slipping away.
