The Golden State Warriors are walking a tightrope. Their fate seems glued to two names: Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. Offense? Curry. Defense? Green. But when they’re off the floor? Chaos. Well, the last 10 games say that with or without the Curry-Green duo, the Warriors are anyway falling apart. However, these stars are legends of the sport and thus they hold great value on the court. But right ahead of their Minnesota Timberwolves face-off on Saturday, the Bay has a massive challenge ahead of them.
Anthony Slater of The Athletic reported: “Draymond Green is now questionable at Minnesota tonight with left ankle soreness. Moses Moody has gone from probable to questionable.” Now, that sounds like trouble, doesn’t it?
22-year-old Moses Moody had already missed the last three games, and as of now, it looks like his return isn’t happening tonight. That’s not great news for the Bay Area team. But the major concern and bigger shock comes from

This also means the Wolves will now have a chance to exploit GSW’s vulnerability and win another game against them. Well, at this point anyone and everyone could defeat Draymond and his team because of how their gameplay has become… weak and predictable.

Besides Draymond Green, who else is on the injury report for the Dubs, and what’s up with Minnesota?
Since the tendinitis troubles, Stephen Curry has been under close observation. Steve Kerr doesn’t want to strain his main man. Well, he’s applying the same formula for Draymond Green, who’s been dealing with his left ankle ailments for a while now. But can you really blame their declining fitness with age? Besides, only Moses Moody remains questionable. He was probable for Saturday until the Warriors announced the fresh updates. Other than these players, the Bay Area has a healthy team, if only they could win now!
Just like their rivals for Saturday’s showdown, the Minnesota Timberwolves mainly have two players in their injury report. Luka Garza is questionable with a left ankle sprain, while Joe Ingles, who’s out, hasn’t played since November 1, when he logged five minutes against the Nuggets. The hoopster has been dealing with a left soleus sprain and it remains unclear when he’ll return to the floor.
So, while the Dubs are missing out on major players like Draymond Green and Moses Moody, the Timberwolves could breathe with slight relief. Their rotation shouldn’t be affected as such. Besides, Anthony Edwards and his troops are undoubtedly looking forward to a massive comeback against Golden State on Saturday. The game is about to get intense, so watch out!
