Steph Curry Makes Public Appearance With Wife Ayesha Curry After Warriors' Playoff Elimination
The Golden State Warriors' 2025 playoff run concluded in the Western Conference semifinals with a 4–1 series loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Despite a strong start, the series quickly turned against the Warriors following Stephen Curry's injury.
The Warriors opened the series with a 99–88 victory in Minnesota. Curry scored 13 points before exiting in the second quarter due to a left hamstring strain. This led to the point guard missing the remainder of the series, and the Warriors were eliminated in five games. Without him, his team struggled, and the Timberwolves eventually won the series.
