The Golden State Warriors will be without their star guard Stephen Curry for Game 3 of their playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday night. Curry has been ruled out due to a left hamstring strain, dealing a significant blow to the Warriors’ hopes of regaining home-court advantage.
Stephen Curry’s impact on the Golden State Warriors team
Stephen Curry’s absence comes after the Warriors split the first two games of the series, losing Game 2 in a 117-93 blowout. Despite a brief third-quarter rally, Golden State struggled offensively, with Curry’s scoring and playmaking heavily missed down the stretch. The two-time MVP is averaging 28.5 points per game this postseason, making his injury a major setback for Steve Kerr’s squad.

Golden State’s Jonathan Kuminga stepped up in Game 2 with 18 points on 7-of-9 shooting, but the team will need more contributors to fill the void left by Curry.
