Stephen Curry needs the Warriors to win Game 5 vs. the Timberwolves to give him a chance.
His left hamstring injury has kept him out since the second quarter of Game 1.
His next chance to take the floor will be Sunday, in a possible Game 6 that only comes if Golden State wins Wednesday.
The Warriors have a fortunate scheduling break of three days off before Sunday to try and get Curry right.
Golden State coach Steve Kerr shared Curry's latest status before Game 5.

At this point, Warriors fans will take "a possibility."
Golden State's offense has been stifled without its sun.
Everything the Warriors do orbits around Curry. Without him, scoring points is just a lot harder.
If Golden State pulls off the Game 5 upset in Minnesota, all eyes will be on Curry's status for the 90 or so hours before Game 6.
