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.

What they're saying "I drank the water from the fountains, and didn't like it. Had my stomach hurting, and then they started installing the flow system, so started using it," Emanuel Funchus, a McClymonds High School says all 77 schools have more than one machine, and now, thanks to a $650,000 grant from Stephen and Ayesha Curry's foundation that was announced last month, there are another 60 additional FloWater machines being installed."It was something that needed to be addressed immediately and totally in line with our mission, so we were happy to jump in and see what role we could play." on behalf of these kids," Chris Helfrich, CEO of said says along with another 60 units, the money will help keep the machines maintained."There's also some ongoing maintenance that our grant is helping to fund as well as the purchase and distribution of 20,000 reusable water bottles so they have something to drink the water out of," Helfrich said."Every Oakland school has at least one... and we are in about 2,000 schools across the United States," Rich Razgaitis, CEO of FloWater says they provide machines in some 2,000 schools nationwide."This just strips out lead, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals," Razgaitis said. The district also has created a water filtration system dashboard for its website, showing the ratio of machines to students at each school. The goal is to have one water machine for every 100 students. Each unit costs about $7, district is using some funds from the sugar-sweetened beverage tax revenue to help fund the effort."Kids are not only better hydrated, but not drinking the sugar-sweetened beverages the way this tax was designed, and so it's really killing two birds with one stone," Sasaki machines are a short-term solution, Sasaki said, as they continue mitigating the longer-term infrastructure challenges."We're doing lots of testing in our schools we are mitigating any situation where we find a fixture or faucet, drinking fountain that has elevated levels of lead, taking those out of service," Sasaki said.
