The Golden State Warriors will visit the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday amid major injury concerns. Steph Curry headlines the injury report as the marquee addition. The two-time MVP is questionable, citing right knee soreness. Curry wasn’t on the injury report on Saturday before the game got rescheduled.
Since the Warriors will play in Minnesota on Monday, the team might have taken a calculated decision. Curry will remain a game-time decision for now. With Jimmy Butler sidelined for the season, the Warriors will be cautious with Curry’s workload to ensure he’s available for the remainder of the year while they fight for a playoff spot.
Al Horford and De’Anthony Melton are two other key recently available rotation players on the injury report. The duo is also questionable. Horford and Melton aren’t playing back-to-backs, which is one of the primary reasons they are on the injury report. Horford is on the list due to left toe injury management, and Melton is managing a left knee injury.
Jonathan Kuminga and Seth Curry will be on the sidelines with Jimmy Butler. Kuminga suffered a knee injury against the Mavericks on Thursday and is ruled out because of the issue. Curry is dealing with left sciatic nerve irritation. He’s been out for seven weeks.
