On May 14, the Golden State Warriors officially updated the injury report for the fifth game of the Western Conference Semi-Finals - the star Stephen Curry is confirmed to miss this key battle of "win or go home". The team's soul figure suffered a first-degree strain on the left hamstring in the first round of G1 on May 7 and is still on the daily watch list. According to the medical team's plan, he will undergo a re-examination of his injury on the day of the competition.

"Even if I want to be Superman, I can't fly now." Curry admitted in an interview before the game. This response comes from teammate Draymond Green's previous statement: "We will never let the injured Stephen play Superman forcibly. "The Warriors are currently in a desperate situation of falling behind 1-3. If they want to continue the season, they must create miracles away in Minneapolis.

The lack of Curry's fourth game has exposed the fatal injury of the Warriors' insufficient firepower. In the 110-117 loss, the abnormal state of another core, Butler, is even more heartbreaking. The All-Star forward, who averaged 25+ games this season, rarely missed media interviews after the G4 game and left early when the locker room opened.

The medical team revealed that if the Warriors can overcome the G5 difficulties, Curry can return to G6 as early as three days later. But the fate of the whole team is now dependent on whether Butler can get back to form - the All-Star forward has never scored less than 20 points in two consecutive games this season, and his performance of only 14 points in G4 has sounded the alarm. Cole's coaching staff is urgently studying tactical adjustments, trying to create more offensive space for Butler in the absence of the first shooter in history.
