Stephen Curry, Warriors hold nerve to beat Timberwolves in tight NBA battle

Golden State Warriors rookie Yaxel Lendeborg was placed on the injury report for the upcoming game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, following a strong debut performance against the Denver Nuggets. Lendeborg, who was selected 11th overall in the 2026 NBA Draft, scored 31 points, grabbed 12 rebounds, dished out six assists, and blocked one shot during the Nuggets contest.

His impressive stats led to him finishing the game with a career-high effort. The 24-year-old had a field goal percentage of 45% and shot 34.6% from beyond the arc. Despite his impressive play, Lendeborg is now listed as questionable to play due to left foot inflammation and soreness. Lendeborg's potential absence, along with other injuries to Jimmy Butler III, Moses Moody, and Kristaps Porzingis, will add to the challenges for the already injury-riddled Golden State Warriors.

Minnesota Timberwolves, on the other hand, are dealing with their own injury concerns, including guard Donte DiVincenzo recovering from a torn Achilles tendon and superstar Anthony Edwards sidelined after knee surgery. With the Warriors sitting at 1-3 and Minnesota at 3-1, the outcome of Wednesday's matchup between the two teams remains uncertain due to the unavailability of key players.
