The Golden State Warriors face a critical moment in their playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves with the absence of Stephen Curry, who is sidelined due to a hamstring strain. While he is not expected to return for the two-game home stand, recent reports suggest that there is a hopeful timeline for his return. The Warriors' focus is on securing at least one win at home to avoid elimination, and they are looking towards a potential Game 6 return for Curry if they can extend the series. Trayce Jackson-Davis has been named the starter in Curry's absence, while Jonathan Kuminga is expected to play a more substantial role after having been phased out during earlier rounds.
