Golden State Warriors vs Minnesota Timberwolves injury report: Who's playing, injured and questionable players, head-to-head records, team stats, and more (January 25, 2026)

The Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves meet on January 25, 2026, in a Western Conference game that matters for both sides. With playoff positioning tight in the middle of the standings, this matchup could swing momentum for either team as the season moves toward its final stretch.Minnesota already handed Golden State a loss earlier this season, and injuries once again play a major role heading into this game. How healthy each team is, especially the Warriors, may decide the outcome more than any single matchup on the floor.Golden State Warriors’ situation revolves around Stephen Curry, who is listed as questionable. Curry averages 27.4 points per game and leads the league with 4.6 made three-pointers, so his availability changes the entire outlook for the Warriors.Jonathan Kuminga has been ruled out. Seth Curry is also unavailable due to left sciatic nerve irritation. On the positive side for Golden State, De’Anthony Melton and Al Horford are cleared to play after recent injury updates, giving the team more depth and experience if Curry cannot go.Minnesota is in better shape overall. Terrence Shannon Jr. is out with a left foot strain, and Enrique and R Zikky remain in the G League. Outside of that, the Timberwolves’ regular rotation is intact, which gives them a clear depth advantage.Curry’s status is expected to remain uncertain until close to tip-off. If he plays, Golden State’s offense looks familiar, built around spacing, shooting, and ball movement. If he sits, the Warriors rely more on Melton’s scoring and Horford’s stability in the frontcourt, but the margin for error becomes smaller.Minnesota, with most of its key players available, is in a position to take advantage, particularly if Golden State is dealing with fatigue and limited options.The Golden State Warriors lead the all-time regular-season series 77–58 over 135 games. Still, recent meetings have been inconsistent. Minnesota Timberwolves won the first matchup of the 2025–26 season on December 12, 2025, by a 127–120 score. Golden State swept the season series in 2024–25, but the Timberwolves previously won five straight games in the rivalry before that run ended in December 2024.Golden State enters at 25–21 (.543), sitting eighth in the Western Conference and third in the Pacific Division. Minnesota is slightly ahead at 27–18 (.600), seventh in the West and third in the Northwest Division.If Curry plays, the game is likely close and competitive. If he does not, Minnesota’s depth and rebounding give them a strong chance to control the matchup. Either way, this is a game that could influence how both teams approach the final months of the season.
