The Golden State Warriors began their Western Conference semifinals on a strong note with a victory but quickly gave up their advantage by losing Game 2. With the series now tied, the upcoming Game 3 is crucial for Stephen Curry and the Warriors to keep their championship dreams alive. Meanwhile, there’s growing concern about Curry’s health.
The Warriors’ official injury update has delivered tough news. Stephen Curry has been ruled out for Game 3. Additionally, Rob Dillingham is listed as questionable, while Sam Hauser is doubtful.
Curry sustained a hamstring injury during Game 1 of the second-round series against the Timberwolves. The injury forced him off the court after just 13 minutes of action.
Despite the brief appearance, he managed to contribute 13 points, one rebound, and one assist while shooting 5-for-9 from the field. The injury was serious enough to sideline him for Game 2.

“There’s no Steph. It’s a completely different team. Everything has to be about finding a new formula, and [Jonathan Kuminga] is absolutely a part of that formula. Trayce Jackson-Davis showed he can be effective against this team,” Kerr said.
Reports suggest that Curry is not expected to return before Game 6 of the series. This means Golden State must find a way to stay alive in the playoffs without their star guard for at least the next few games.
