Warriors' Steph Curry makes brutal injury announcement with Golden State's season on the line image

Stephen Curry might seem like a super hero, but he's human, too.

The Golden State Warriors star spoke Monday night after a Game 4 loss put the Dubs in a 3-1 hole to the Timberwolves in their Western Conference semifinal series.

Curry has been out since Game 1's second quarter with a hamstring injury.

"Even if I wanted to be Superman, I couldn't," Curry said, according to ESPN.

Curry had just explained that making it back for Wednesday's Game 5 would be a tall task and that he didn't expect to play.

The Warriors will have to extend their season without Curry.

Their hope all along has been to get the series to a sixth game, because there are three off days before Game 6 would be played on Sunday. If Curry was ever going to make it back, that was likely going to be how.

The Warriors put up good fights in Games 3 and 4, but in the end, couldn't get either victory over the line.

Game 5 will be played in Minneapolis, a chance for the Timberwolves to close out in front of their home crowd.

The Wolves had a 17-0 run in Monday's third quarter that put the game to rest.

Now, the Warriors need to find something deep within them to give Curry a chance to return to the court this season.
