The Golden State Warriors left Minnesota with more than a convincing win. They also walked away with cautious optimism surrounding Stephen Curry. After Sunday’s 111–85 victory over the Timberwolves, attention quickly shifted from the scoreboard to Curry’s health as Golden State prepared for another meeting with Minnesota less than 24 hours later.Curry showed brief signs of discomfort during the win, appearing with a slight limp at times. That visual alone was enough to spark concern, given his workload and the Warriors’ growing injury list. Head coach Steve Kerr addressed those worries soon after, offering clarity while keeping expectations measured as the team navigates a demanding stretch before the All-Star break.
Steve Kerr shares Stephen Curry update before Monday’s Timberwolves Game
Kerr confirmed that Stephen Curry is dealing with knee soreness but stressed that the situation remains fluid. He is hopeful to play on Monday.After the game, Kerr explained that the team plans to wait until game day before making a final call. Curry logged 27:38 in the win, a factor Kerr believes could help his availability. The reduced minutes mattered, especially with Golden State facing back-to-back road games.Kerr also noted that Al Horford and De’Anthony Melton will not play, as neither is expected to appear in back-to-back games this season. That places even more weight on Curry’s status as the Warriors attempt to build momentum while climbing the Western Conference standings.
Is Stephen Curry alright?
Curry has carried a heavy load. He has appeared in 12 straight games and played in 21 of the last 22. At 37, managing wear and tear becomes a season-long balancing act. Still, Curry has shown little desire to slow down, particularly with Golden State sitting only two games behind the sixth seed. He was seen limping, but as Kerr reveals, it should be nothing serious.
Warriors hit with several injuries
Golden State’s injury report is crowded right now. Jonathan Kuminga is sidelined after an MRI revealed a bone bruise following a knee hyperextension and ankle roll. The team stated, “His progress will be monitored and a re-evaluation date will be determined in the coming days.” Jimmy Butler III is already out for the season with an ACL injury, while Seth Curry continues to deal with a sciatic nerve issue.Right now, Curry’s health sits at the center of Golden State’s short-term plans, and for obvious reasons. Without Curry and amid missing major stars in the roster, the Warriors could be in serious trouble.
