Updated Injury Report: Warriors vs. Timberwolves

The Golden State Warriors are fighting to get healthy, but for now they will need to find ways to win while shorthanded. Coming into Monday night's matchup vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Warriors listed Draymond Green, James Wiseman, Andre Iguodala, and Klay Thompson as out, and Nemanja Bjelica as questionable. That initial report has stayed the same, with the only change being Bjelica, who is now also listed as out.
The Minnesota Timberwolves initially listed star Anthony Edwards as questionable with left patella tendinopathy, and he has now been listed as a game-time decision. Jarred Vanderbilt, who was also listed as questionable, is expected to play in this matchup against Golden State, per head coach Chris Finch.
As the calendar turns to March, each game is vital in the highly contested Western Conference. While both the Timberwolves and Warriors hope to have their complete squads come playoff time, each team will need to find ways to win while they await reinforcements. The Warriors are currently very depleted, with the extended absences of Draymond Green and James Wiseman; however, with a superstar like Steph Curry, they are favored to win more nights than not.
For Minnesota, they are still in pursuit of a top-6 seed, which would get them out of the play-in situation. Currently in the 7th-seed, it would take a combination of good Minnesota basketball and a significant slide from either Denver or Dallas to make that possible. For now, all the Wolves can control is the outcome of their own games.
