NBA Starting lineups tonight: Is Stephen Curry playing vs the Minnesota Timberwolves? Warriors release injury update for the MVP candidate ahead of matchup against Anthony Edwards and co.

Warriors’ MVP Stephen Curry has been ruled out for tonight’s matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves, cites right-hand soreness

The Golden State Warriors finally snapped out of their road game skid. They had lost four consecutive games on the road, before they finally broke that trend in Chicago. The Warriors, who went in without Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and Gary Payton II, took the Bulls by a storm. They handed the Bulls a 138-96 beating, to hopefully break out of their funk.

During the match, Stephen Curry injured his right wrist, as he landed awkwardly after a layup attempt.

However, as seen in the video, Steph ruled out any major injury. To make sure he is alright, and to get his right wrist right, the Warriors decided to sit out Steph for the last game of the road trip.

The Warriors have listed Gary Payton II as questionable. Klay Thompson would be back in the lineup, and as Steve Kerr mentioned earlier, might have larger share of minutes.

Hopefully, Steph’s wrist is alright, and he makes his way back to the court soon.
