Steph Curry's Frustrated Interaction From Game 5 Loss Turns Heads
Steph Curry could only watch on from the bench on Wednesday as the Golden State Warriors' 2024-25 season came to an end at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Timberwolves beat the Warriors 121-110 in Game 5 at Target Center to knock them out of the playoffs in the Western Conference Semifinals.
Curry ended up playing just 13 minutes in this series, as he suffered a hamstring strain in the second quarter of Game 1, which the Warriors won 99-88. Not long after, the two-time MVP was officially ruled out of Games 2, 3 and 4, with Game 6 being looked at as the earliest point of return.

That meant Curry needed his Warriors teammates to get one win in his absence after Game 1 to extend the series to the point where he could return. It wasn't to be, though, as the Timberwolves won four games in a row.

The writing appeared to be on the wall for the Warriors after the Timberwolves won Game 4 to take a 3-1 lead. Curry cut a frustrated figure on the sidelines in Game 5, and a clip recently went viral of him seemingly expressing his displeasure with Brandin Podziemski during a timeout.

It is unclear what Curry was frustrated about there. Podziemski would prove to be the Warriors' best player on the night, finishing with 28 points, six rebounds, four assists and two steals. He had failed to score more than 11 points in any of the first four games, but did his part when facing elimination. It unfortunately wasn't enough.

Scottie Scheffler joins Tiger Woods as only repeat winners at Memorial
DUBLIN, Ohio — Scottie Scheffler is winning with such alarming regularity that describing his dominance is not a comfortable topic. So when he won the Memorial on Sunday for the second straight year, he at least had tournament host Jack Nicklaus at his side. Nicklaus is a great authority when it comes to Scheffler because the Golden Bear sees so much of himself in the world's No. 1 player.

Man City pursuing deal to sign Rayan Ait Nouri from Wolves
Manchester City are pursuing a deal to sign Rayan Ait Nouri from Wolverhampton Wanderers. Agreements still need to be reached between the clubs and with the 23-year-old — however all parties now expect a move to happen. Ait Nouri has emerged as City's top target to strengthen at left-back after four impressive seasons since joining Wolves on a permanent basis, which followed a loan spell, from Angers. Advertisement Pep Guardiola's side are working to secure the Algeria international and further recruits before the Club World Cup in the United States this summer. Premier League clubs voted to approve allowing the window to open on June 1 before closing on June 10, with the tournament kicking off four days later. City face Wydad AC, Al Ain and Juventus in Group G of the newly-expanded competition. Ait Nouri has made 157 appearances for Wolves since joining the Midlands club, initially on loan, in 2020. He made 41 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring five goals and adding seven assists. Central defender Josko Gvardiol was City's most regular left-back before academy graduate midfielder Nico O'Reilly starred in the position over the final months of the campaign. ()
