Stephen Curry and Draymond Green won’t play for Golden State on Monday night at Minnesota due to injuries.
Both players suited up Sunday afternoon as the Warriors defeated the Timberwolves 111-85 at Target Center. But coach Steve Kerr said Curry’s balky right knee was causing him enough trouble on Monday morning to rule him out.
Green is sidelined because of a back injury.
Kerr expressed hope that both players would be back in the lineup for Wednesday’s game at Utah.
The Warriors were already short-handed after losing former Wolves forward Jimmy Butler for the season with a torn ACL. Forward Jonathan Kuminga also will sit out with a bone bruise and a hyperextended left knee.
The Wolves sat out Anthony Edwards for the 10th time this season because of a foot injury. They entered the game having lost a season-high five in a row.
