The Golden State Warriors will take on the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Round 2 playoff series. The Timberwolves have taken a 3-1 advantage, making it extremely difficult for the Warriors. Tonight, at the Target Center, the Golden State will fight for survival as one more loss will bring an end to their campaign. While they started the series on a bright note, winning the first game and taking the first lead, but Stephen Curry's departure due to a hamstring injury came as a huge setback for the GSW. They lost three games in a row after that and are on the verge of getting knocked out. A return of Curry, if it happens, will give them the push they need at the moment. So, will Stephen Curry play tonight or not? Let's figure that out by taking a glance at the Golden State Warriors' injury report.

Stephen Curry Injury Report
Stephen Curry is listed in the injury report released by the Warriors ahead of Game 5 against the Timberwolves. Unfortunately, there is no improvement in his status, and he will stay out for tonight's game as well. Curry sustained a hamstring injury in Game 1 and has remained out since then. While it always looked unlikely, fans were still hopeful about witnessing his return in Game 5.
With Curry sidelined, the onus falls on Jimmy Butler, Jonathan Kuminga, and Draymond Green to do the heavy lifting and rescue the team. It will be a monumental ask, but it is the only way to stay alive in the competition.
