Stephen Curry will miss Game 5 of the second round series between the Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves with the hamstring strain that has kept him out since Game 1, the team announced Tuesday.
Minnesota uses a 3rd quarter barrage led by Anthony Edwards to stake a 3-1 series lead and move within a win of the West Finals.
The Timberwolves lead the series 3-1 after their 117-110 win in San Francisco. Game 5 is Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. at Target Center. Technically, Golden State could win that game and push the series back to California to give Curry a crack at a triumphant return, but that feels highly unlikely.
In Game 1, Curry played just 13 minutes against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Curry capped off the night with 13 points, one rebound and one assist. So far this season, Curry has posted 24.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game.
