Stephen Curry continues to be sidelined with a grade one hamstring strain. In his absence, the rest of the Golden State Warriors' rotation must step up to try to fill the void. Buddy Hield will undoubtedly be relied upon to keep the floor spacing and force defenses into some tough decisions.

With the NBA all-time 3-point leader Stephen Curry relegated to cheering while sidelined by a hamstring injury and sporting a gray sweatsuit on the bench, the Golden State Warriors struggled to establish their long-range game in a 102-97 Game 3 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday night.

The Golden State Warriors' Buddy Hield and Jimmy Butler continue to play the best two-man game on the microphone during the 2025 NBA playoffs. Hield had a game-high 24 points and hit five threes as the Warriors beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 99-88 in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals Tuesday night.
