Stephen Curry breaks silence after Warriors playoff exit

The Golden State Warriors’ 2024–25 season came to an end after they were eliminated by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Conference Semifinals, losing the series 4–1.

The team suffered a major blow with the absence of Stephen Curry, sidelined by a Grade 1 strain in his left hamstring, which ruled him out for the remainder of the campaign. Unable to help his team in their push for another title, Curry opened up about the frustration and heartbreak of watching from the sidelines.

“All we wanted was a chance... There’s a lot to be proud of for sure, considering where we were, but definitely disappointed and frankly just sad that I wasn’t out there and able to play.” Curry said.

He also addressed the future of the franchise, pointing to the short-term nature of key contracts. “Our contracts — mine, Draymond’s [Green], Steve’s [Kerr] and Jimmy’s [Butler] — are for two more years,” he added.

Estimates suggested Curry might have been fit in time for a potential Game 6, but Golden State were unable to extend the series long enough to give him that chance.

“We want this run to last as long as possible. But it really comes down to what this team needs for next year — figuring that out over the summer, getting ourselves ready individually to push through another 82-game season, and hopefully have a bit more peace at the end, without going through a two-month grind just to reach the playoffs,” he continued.
