Stephen Curry's progress is expected to be evaluated again in a few weeks with his return date still projected to be around February 2020. A host of injuries meant the Warriors were forced to play with a much-weakened squad which was relatively thin on the bench. The Warriors lie dead last in the Western Conference with a 6-24 (win-loss) record. Last season's NBA finalists will be facing the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night (Tuesday 9:00 AM IST).
