Story Highlights:

The Golden State Warriors will take on the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight in Game 2 of the playoff round 2.

The game will take place at the Target Center.

The Golden State Warriors will take on the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight in Game 2 of the Round 2 Playoff series. The Warriors took a 1-0 lead courtesy of a clinical display the other day at the Target Center. While Game 1 ended in GSW's favour, it also turned out to be disastrous for them as the team's talisman, Stephen Curry, sustained a hamstring injury in the first quarter and will stay out of the picture for the next three games at the least. In the absence of Curry, Jimmy Butler will have to step up, and along with him, the attention will be on Jonathan Kuminga as well. Kuminga has incessantly contributed for the Warriors throughout the season, and he could turn out to be decisive tonight, if he plays. As Kuminga's presence is vital for the Golden State, let's take a look at his status for the game by giving a glance at the Golden State Warriors' injury report.

Golden State Warriors Injury Report

Aside from Stephen Curry, there is no other injury listed in the Golden State Warriors' injury report. The Minnesota Timberwolves, on the other hand, are also not devoid of injury issues. Point Guard Rob Dillingham will miss out on the game due to an ankle injury.

Stephen Curry's absence will put the Golden State under substantial pressure, but they still have the ability to withhold the damage and inflict it in return. For the Timberwolves, it is a huge impetus as the opponent is weak on a day when they needed to win; it is an ideal situation for the T-Wolves. Will they be able to capitalise? Let's wait and see what transpires in the Warriors vs Timberwolves Game 2 showdown.
