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 general consensus was that the Warriors needed to figure out a way to win at least once at home, which would guarantee a Game 6 at Chase Center on May 18. Members of the franchise told reporters that Curry's injury probably wouldn't allow him to come back before then, and a Game 6 return was the best-case scenario.

Stephen Curry is out for Game 4 against the Timberwolves due to a hamstring strain sustained during the Rockets series. After a tough play-in entry and a series win against Houston, the Warriors face a crucial challenge.
