With Minnesota Timberwolves vs Warriors game five nearly upon us, Golden State has an injury update on Steph Curry and excuses for Jimmy

The Golden State Warriors had one pathway, and one pathway alone, to staying in their second-round series vs. Minnesota long enough for Stephen Curry to get back with a realistic chance to make a difference: Jimmy Butler had to step out of this so-called Robin role that he has so enthusiastically embraced and actually put his Batman suit back on.

The Golden State Warriors came into Wednesday on the verge of being knocked out of the NBA playoffs after a very promising close to their regular season. They came into Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Minnesota Timberwolves down three games to one, and they ended up losing by a final score of 121-110.
