Stephen Curry\u2019s injury details that has kept him out on Game 5 (May 14, 2025)<\/p>\n
Stephen Curry\u2019s<\/a> injury, classified as a Grade 1 hamstring strain, has sidelined him for four consecutive games. Despite traveling with the team to Minnesota and being cleared for light on-court workouts and shooting drills, Curry was not medically cleared to participate in Game 5. The Golden State Warriors\u2019 medical staff re-evaluated him on Wednesday, May 14, and determined he was making \u201cgood progress,\u201d but not enough to risk a return in an elimination scenario.<\/p>\n Stephen Curry\u2019s impact on the Boston Celtics team<\/p>\n The absence of Curry has had a significant impact on the Golden State Warriors<\/a>\u2019 offensive performance. Without their leading scorer and primary playmaker, the team has struggled to find rhythm, averaging 17 turnovers per game and shooting just 36% from three-point range in the series. Other guards, such as Brandin Podziemski, have been unable to fill the void, with Podziemski shooting just 9-for-40 from the field over the first four games.Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr and the organization made the decision to prioritize Curry\u2019s long-term health over a risky return, especially with the team facing a 3-1 series deficit. If the Warriors managed to win Game 5 and extend the series, Curry would be re-evaluated again on Saturday, with a potential return for Game 6 in San Francisco on Sunday. The three-day break between Games 5 and 6 was seen as a window for further recovery, but Curry\u2019s status would depend entirely on his progress in the coming days.In summary, Stephen Curry will not play in Game 5 against the Minnesota Timberwolves on May 14, 2025, due to his ongoing recovery from a strained left hamstring. His participation in any subsequent games remains contingent on further medical evaluation and the Golden State Warriors\u2019 ability to extend their playoff run.
