Curry Returns, Edwards Out: Warriors Host Injured Timberwolves
13 Dec
Summary
- Stephen Curry is returning for the Warriors after a five-game absence.
- Anthony Edwards is out for the Timberwolves due to right foot soreness.
- Draymond Green and Al Horford are also sidelined for the Warriors.
The Golden State Warriors are bolstering their lineup with the return of Stephen Curry, who has recovered from a five-game absence due to a quad injury. This homecoming coincides with a significant blow to their upcoming opponent, the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Timberwolves have announced that their star guard, Anthony Edwards, will not play in Friday night's game against the Warriors due to right foot soreness. Adding to their difficulties, veteran point guard Mike Conley Jr. will also be sidelined. This leaves the Timberwolves significantly short-handed in their backcourt.
Meanwhile, the Warriors themselves are dealing with absences. Veteran big men Draymond Green and Al Horford have been ruled out, impacting the team's frontcourt. Consequently, Quinten Post and Trayce Jackson-Davis are expected to see increased minutes to counter the Timberwolves' frontcourt presence, including Rudy Gobert. The game is scheduled for 7 p.m. PT at Chase Center in San Francisco.
