(KRON) -- It doesn't come as much of a surprise, but there's no Stephen Curry to save the Warriors as they head into an elimination game on Wednesday. The superstar has been officially ruled out of Game 5 in Minnesota, per the NBA's injury report released Tuesday.
For the fourth straight game, the Warriors will be without Curry to face the Timberwolves.
This news was expected when Curry was diagnosed with a Grade 1 hamstring strain last Wednesday and would be re-evaluated in exactly one week. However, depending on the outcome of Games 2-4, there was some chatter within Dub Nation on whether Curry would be rushed back to help save the Warriors' season.
"Even if I wanted to be Superman, I couldn’t," Curry told Andscape's Marc. J Spears. The 37-year-old guard said this in response to possibly returning early to help his team out.
The Warriors shut that notion down as they will be without their best player for a must-win Game 5 -- despite being in a 3-1 series hole. Now, the best-case scenario for the Warriors is to win Game 5 and force a Game 6 on Sunday to give Curry's hamstring more time to heal.

Every other game in this Western Conference semifinals has had only a one-day break in between each one. Sunday, May 18 would mark 12 days since Curry suffered the injury on May 6.
Game 5 will be on Wednesday in Minnesota with a 6:30 p.m. PT tipoff. According to DraftKings, the Timberwolves are 11.5-point favorites to close out the series at home.
Curry's next medical evaluation on his injured hamstring is scheduled for Wednesday, May 14.
