Jimmy Butler called Monday's Game 4 a must-win with star point guard Stephen Curry still sidelined by a hamstring injury he suffered in Game 1 last Tuesday. He said that if the Warriors lost, they "don’t have to worry about getting Steph back this year."

The Warriors don't yet know how long Curry will be out. But now they'll have to keep a promising season alive without him.

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry will be sidelined for at least the next three games of the Western Conference semifinals thanks to his hamstring strain, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Charania reported Friday on The Pat McAfee Show that Curry "could be back for Game 6 at the earliest."
