The Golden State Warriors are facing a challenging matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night, with significant injuries impacting their roster. Key players Draymond Green, Kyle Anderson, Jonathan Kuminga, and Brandin Podziemski will be sidelined, forcing the team to adapt their game strategy.
Coach Steve Kerr provided updates on the players' conditions, noting that Green's absence is primarily due to illness rather than injury, after he appeared unwell during the morning shootaround. Anderson is dealing with a sore left hamstring, Kuminga has a right ankle sprain, and Podziemski is hindered by an abdominal injury.
Kerr acknowledged the loss of size in the lineup and hinted at potentially employing a smaller lineup to counter the Timberwolves, emphasizing the need for flexibility in their approach. As the teams prepare to tip off at 8:30 p.m. at Target Center, the Warriors will look to find creative solutions to compete effectively in this critical game.
