Warriors star Stephen Curry loses 2025 NBA championship full in….
Here’s a detailed look at how the season unfolded for Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors in 2025 — and how things came to the end they did.
Curry entered the 2024-25 season still at the top of his game: a multiple-champion, multiple-All-Star, and one of the greatest shooters ever. He and the Warriors, despite some roster adjustments (including the addition of Jimmy Butler mid-season), were aiming to make another deep playoff run.
In the first round of the playoffs, Golden State edged out the Houston Rockets in a hard-fought 7-game series. Game 6 saw Houston force the decider with a win, and Curry scored 29 points, though his shooting was off (9 of 23 overall, 6 of 16 from three). The Warriors survived to advanc
In the Western Conference Semifinals against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Curry suffered a left hamstring strain in the second quarter of Game 1. He played only about 13 minutes in that opener and then was sidelined. Without him, the Warriors’ fortunes shifted sharply.
Minnesota took full advantage. In Game 2 they thumped Golden State 117-93, pointing out their opponent’s key vulnerabilities without Curry. Eventually Minnesota closed the series in Game 5 (121-110) and advanced, ending Golden State’s postseason.
For Curry:
His hamstring injury effectively derailed his ability to contribute in the biggest moments. Without their top offensive weapon, the Warriors lacked their usual rhythm.It exposed that even at age 37 (as of the 2024-25 season), Curry remains central to the Warriors’ success.This exit means he’ll once again chase another championship ring later in his career — and it adds to the legacy narrative: dominant but vulnerable to injury-timing.
For the Warriors:
The roster overhaul (Butler trade, younger shooters, etc) looked promising, but the injury laid bare a thin margin for error.Losing to a lower-seeded team (Minnesota) with injury limitations points to potential need for structural changes: depth, alternative go-to scorers, better contingency planning.While their playoff run ended in the West semis, missing Curry made the difference. Minnesota out-scored them by roughly 46 points after Curry left Game 1.
The 2024-25 season added another chapter to Curry’s storied career — one of resilience, excellence, but also the harsh reality of aging and injuries in elite sports.The Warriors remain a serious team, but this loss is a reminder: even the greatest players need full health, full support, and sometimes luck on their side.For fans in places like Nigeria (you’re based in Port Harcourt, Rivers State) and around the world, it’s a mix of admiration and “what might have been”. Curry’s brilliance still lights up the game, but title runs don’t always go as planned.
