Golden State Warriors vs Minnesota Timberwolves Injury Report Revealed
The Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves face off in a game that both teams need to win. The Warriors will definitely be the healthier team heading into this one, but both teams have been recently playing better basketball.
The Warriors only have one player listed on their injury report - Andre Iguodala. Iguodala is out with right hip soreness.
The Minnesota Timberwolves continue to have Karl-Anthony Towns out with a right calf strain, as well as Jordan McLaughlin with a left calf strain. The two players listed as questionable are Rudy Gobert with right groin soreness and Taurean Prince with a left ankle sprain.
If Rudy Gobert doesn't play, that puts the Wolves in a pretty deep hole without both Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns. Even if that does happen, the Warriors definitely shouldn't take them lightly, because Minnesota has still found ways to win in those situations. The Warriors are starting to play with some consistency in the form of a three-game winning streak, so a win here would create great momentum.
The most fascinating thing about this matchup is that both teams are playing better basketball, and both teams need to win. The Wolves have won five out of the last seven games, and the Warriors are on a three-game winning streak. As a result, they only have a half-game difference in the standings.
If the Warriors win this game, they remain in the 5th seed. If they lose, they can drop to the 8th seed. On top of seeding implications, there will likely be massive tiebreaker implications since these two teams will likely be near each other by the end of the season.
The Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves tip off at 8:00 PM EST on February 1.
