Warriors vs. Timberwolves Game 5 injury report

The full injury report for Wednesday’s game.

The season comes down to tonight for the Golden State Warriors. They visit the Minnesota Timberwolves for Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals, and they trail 3-1. With a surprising win tonight, the season would live on. The Warriors would get three days of rest and recovery to try and get Steph Curry healthy, before reconvening with the Wolves in San Francisco on Sunday.

But with a loss, the season is over, and we turn towards the 2025-26 NBA season, while the Timberwolves march to the Western Conference Finals. I’m not ready for Warriors basketball to end, so let’s hope tonight isn’t the final game they play.

Unfortunately, like they have been pretty much all series, the Dubs are at a considerable health disadvantage. Here’s the full injury report for Wednesday’s game.

Warriors

Out — Steph Curry (left hamstring strain)

Today was the earliest that Curry could have possibly returned from the injury that he sustained in Game 1. But the Warriors poured cold water on any hint of Curry making a surprising return. During Tuesday’s off-day, before he even had his Wednesday re-evaluation, Curry was listed as out on the injury report. Now his focus shifts to Sunday, should the team be able to make it there. It would be pretty sad if we’ve seen the last of Curry this year, but then again, sports can be a cruel business.

Thankfully, Curry is the only Warrior on the injury report.

Timberwolves

And this is what it comes down to in the playoffs, sometimes. The Wolves have a fully healthy team, while the Warriors will be without one of the 10 greatest players in NBA history. So it goes. The Warriors have been on the other side of it before, and they’ll be on the other side of it again some day.

Enjoy the game, Dub Nation! Tip-off is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. PT on TNT.
