The Golden State Warriors are down 3-1 to the Minnesota Timberwolves and could use Stephen Curry, but he won't be returning unless his hamstring is ready to go.

The Golden State Warriors are in grave trouble. Even though they won Game 1 of their Western Conference semifinal series against the Minnesota Timberwolves, they lost Stephen Curry in that game to a hamstring strain. He hasn't played since, and as a result, the Warriors have lost the last three games of the series and now trail three games to one.

Warriors star Stephen Curry, who is rehabbing a Grade 1 left hamstring strain, does not expect to be available for Game 5 on Wednesday, he told Andscape's Marc J. Spears.
