The Golden State Warriors are facing elimination on Wednesday night and star guard Steph Curry has already been ruled out for Game 5 of their second-round series against the Minnesota Timberwolves. But there is some hope on the horizon: Curry, who has not played since straining his hamstring in Game 1, was re-evaluated on Wednesday and is making “good progress,” according to the team.
Here is the full update the Warriors released on Wednesday morning:
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry, who has missed the the last three (3) games due to a strained left hamstring, has been re-evaluated. The re-evaluation indicated that Curry is making good progress in his recovery. He has been cleared to participate in light on-court workouts, including shooting drills. He will be re-evaluated again on Saturday.
The Warriors won Game 1 despite Curry’s early exit, but have lost three in a row and now find themselves down 3-1. While they were blown out on the road in Game 2, they had chances to win each of the last two games at home, but just didn’t have enough offense without Curry.
Following his diagnosis, Curry called the injury a “gut punch,” and said he would have to let his body dictate his recovery process.
“This is new and from all that I’m learning about how quickly you can get back, there has to be a healing process,” Curry said last week. “That’s just the way the body works. You can’t accelerate it more than what it’s telling you. After a week, [the medical staff will be] really re-evaluating every day to understand when it’s safe to even think about playing, let alone how much can you push it.”
The good news for Curry and the Warriors is that if they can somehow find a way to win Game 5, they’ll have three full days off before Game 6 back in San Francisco on Sunday. There’s a good chance that Curry could be cleared by then, which would obviously give the Warriors a major boost.
Winning Game 5 on the road in front of what is sure to be a raucous Minneapolis crowd is much easier said than done, however (BetMGM’s money line for Golden State is set at +375). The Warriors will need a big effort from Jimmy Butler, who is certainly capable of putting a team on his back during the playoffs, but was strangely passive in Game 4, when he took just nine shots.

Rockies are worst team in MLB history through 42 games, and it can get worse
<!--> With a loss on Tuesday night, the Rockies’ record now stands at 7-35. Reaching that 35th defeat after 42 games puts the Rockies in historic territory, as they’re the fastest-ever to 35 losses in a season. The previous quickest to get there was the 1904 Washington Senators, who lost their 35th 45 games in, after they had already won their eighth contest of an excruciatingly long season.If the Rockies don’t turn things around in a hurry, you’re going to be hearing a lot about the 1904 Senators for the next couple of months. That’s because the Senators, with a brief interruption, are one of the standard-bearers for "worst record through X" games, starting with the 43rd of the season up to the 91st, at which point a different team well over a century old becomes the stick against which […]

PGA Championship: Why all the hate for Quail Hollow — the ‘Kardashian’ of golf courses?
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — At almost every golf tournament, there’s an undercurrent that runs parallel to the actual event: the grousing and griping about the course at hand. Yes, even though they play the finest courses on earth, pros grumble about the setup, the greens, the rough … you name an element of a tournament golf course, and somebody has a problem with it. (You can probably guess the one course that nobody dares to criticize.)The carping — reinforced by the echo chamber that is Golf Twitter — has hit a new high this week at Quail Hollow, site of this week's PGA Championship, and since this is a major, the cuts slice a little deeper.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement“I guess I would say Quail Hollow is like a Kardashian,” Mahan told The Athletic. “It’s very modern, beautiful and well-kept.

Celtic score five again as they thrash Aberdeen
Celtic registered another five-goal haul in the Scottish Premiership, beating Aberdeen 5-1 as Johnny Kenny scored on his first start for the club.The Hoops have now netted five goals in three of their last five league outings - also doing so against Kilmarnock and Dundee United - making for perfect preparation for when they face the Dons in the Scottish Cup final on May 24. And it was a night to remember for 21-year-old Kenny. He was one of eight changes made by Brendan Rodgers from the weekend's win against Hibernian, and he flicked home a header for Celtic's fourth.There had been two fine headers in the first half too. The first saw Maik Nawrocki power home a fine effort from a Celtic corner, joining Kenny in scoring his first goal for the club.Despite the scoreline, Aberdeen were hardly run […]
