Steph Curry was locked in for Saturday’s Game 3 matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This is despite the fact that the 11-time All-Star was forced to sit out the game due to a hamstring strain that is now expected to keep him out for at least one more game.
Unfortunately for Curry and the Warriors, they just didn’t have it in them to take Game 3, as the Wolves secured a 102-97 win to take a 2-1 series lead.
The worst part for Curry had to be watching his team from the bench without having the opportunity to get out there to try and help them on the court. A photo of a dejected Curry on the bench during the loss is currently making its rounds on social media, and it drew all sorts of reactions from Warriors fans.

“Feel bad for Steph sitting there watching his team fight and claw for a win while Draymond uncontrollably yells at the refs after making terrible plays,” a supporter posted.
According to the latest report from Shams Charania, the Warriors are operating under the premise that Curry’s return will come in Game 6 at the earliest. Whether or not this changes following Saturday’s brutal loss remains to be seen.
