Stephen Curry Pens Emotional Message to Warriors Fans Following Playoff Exit: “Still Committed to the Cause”
In the aftermath of a heartbreaking playoff exit at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry has spoken out for the first time — and he’s delivered a heartfelt message to the fanbase that has supported him through every triumph and trial.
Taking to social media early Monday morning, Curry posted a message reflecting on the Warriors’ 2025 playoff run, the challenges the team faced this season, and his unwavering commitment to the franchise that drafted him over 15 years ago.
“Not the way we wanted it to end,” Curry began, referring to the Warriors’ hard-fought six-game series loss to the Timberwolves in the Western Conference Semifinals. “We left it all out there, and sometimes the game just doesn’t go your way. Credit to Minnesota — they played their hearts out. But this one hurts. It always does.”
The 2024–25 season was a turbulent one for Golden State. Plagued by injuries, inconsistent performances, and questions about the team’s aging core, the Warriors fought hard to make a deep playoff push. Led, as always, by the indomitable Curry, they managed to secure a playoff berth and knock out the Phoenix Suns in the first round before running into a red-hot Timberwolves squad led by Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns.
Despite the loss, Curry made it clear that this is not the end — far from it.
“I know there are a lot of questions about what’s next for this team. People asking if the window is closed, if we’ve got one more run in us,” Curry wrote. “All I can say is: I’m still here. I’m still locked in. I’m still committed to the cause. This franchise, this city, this fanbase — y’all are family to me. And I’m not done fighting for more banners.”
The 36-year-old guard, who averaged 26.7 points, 5.3 assists, and 4.8 rebounds this season, has been the face of the franchise since he was drafted in 2009. Through multiple championships, MVP seasons, and a revolutionary impact on how the game of basketball is played, Curry has remained the heart and soul of the Warriors. And while his body has logged many miles, his message makes one thing clear — his passion hasn’t faded.
“Being part of this journey with the Warriors has been the greatest blessing. Every season teaches you something new,” he continued. “This one reminded me of the importance of resilience. Of showing up every day — win or lose — and believing in what we’ve built.”
In a season where many analysts questioned the viability of the Warriors’ core trio — Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green — the team’s performance in the postseason proved that while the road ahead might be different, the fire still burns.
Thompson, who struggled at times during the playoffs and faces an uncertain contract situation this summer, was also mentioned in Curry’s message. “Much love to my brother Klay,” Curry wrote. “No matter what the future holds, you’ve already given everything to this organization. We’ve been through it all together — and nobody can take that away.”
Curry also took time to thank the fans, who have supported the Warriors through every high and low, from the dynasty years to the injury-plagued seasons to the most recent playoff run.
“To Dub Nation: I love y’all. Every time we stepped into Chase Center, I felt your energy. Every road game, I saw you in the stands, repping blue and gold. We feel that love. We play for that love,” Curry said. “And I promise you — the best is still to come.”
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr echoed similar sentiments in his own press conference following the loss, saying he believes Curry “has more great basketball in him” and that the team will “retool, not rebuild.” With Curry still under contract through the 2025–26 season, the Warriors’ front office now faces the challenge of building a competitive roster around him as he enters the twilight of his career.
While uncertainty looms over key decisions this offseason — including what happens with Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, and the team’s younger players — one thing is clear: Curry isn’t ready to turn the page just yet.
“I’m not going to sugarcoat it — losing sucks,” Curry concluded in his post. “But it also fuels the fire. I’ve still got that fire. And I can’t wait to be back out there, wearing that jersey, going to battle with my teammates, and doing everything I can to bring another title to the Bay. We’re not done.”
The post, accompanied by a black-and-white photo of Curry walking off the court following Game 6, quickly went viral, drawing responses from teammates, NBA legends, and fans around the world. In a moment of disappointment, Curry’s message reminded everyone of what makes him one of the most respected figures in the game — not just his on-court greatness, but his unwavering loyalty and competitive spirit.
As the offseason begins and the Warriors begin to retool for the future, the franchise — and its fans — can rest assured knowing their leader remains all-in.
