The Minnesota Timberwolves look to bounce back from their first loss of the season when they host the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday. The game tips off at 8 PM ET and will air on KARE 11, DAZN-MIN, NBCS-BA, and PCK-GSW.

After starting the season 3-0, the Timberwolves fell in overtime to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday, 127-125. Anthony Edwards had 47 points in the loss. This will be the first game against a Western Conference foe for the Timberwolves and the start of a two-game homestand before hitting the road.

The Warriors scored their first victory of the season on Monday, blowing out the Denver Nuggets to move to 1-3 on the season. They’ve opened the season playing four of five games on the road, and this concludes a three-game road trip for Golden State.

This is the first meeting of the year between the two teams.

Anthony Edwards is OUT due to right knee injury management. Edwards is expected to miss two months after undergoing an arthroscopic procedure. He’s averaging 33.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.5 assists in four games this season. Edwards played 41 minutes in the loss to the Cavaliers, finishing with 47 points, four rebounds, four assists, two steals, and two blocks

Donte DiVincenzo is OUT after undergoing right Achilles surgery. He suffered an Achilles tear in Game 4 against the Denver Nuggets of the first round of the 2026 playoffs. He is hopeful to return at some point this season.

LaMelo Ball, Jaden McDaniels, Jonathan Kuminga, and Rudy Gobert will start for the Timberwolves. The team could start Bones Hyland or Jaylen Clark in place of Edwards to help keep the bench unit intact. Ayo Dosunmu will most likely be the starter to help replace the offensive loss of Edwards.

Dosunmu and Terrence Shannon Jr each played more than 23 minutes off the bench against the Cavaliers. Joan Beringer played 17 minutes while Trey Lyles played 13 minutes in the overtime loss.

Yaxel Lendeborg is QUESTIONABLE with left foot inflammation and soreness. The rookie has played in and started all four games this season, averaging 21.8 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 4.8 assists.

Jimmy Butler III remains OUT after undergoing ACL surgery in January when he suffered an ACL tear. There is hope that he can return early in 2027.

Moses Moody is also OUT after undergoing left patellar tendon surgery. He too is hopeful to return early in 2027.

Kristaps Porzingis is OUT as he is not with the team. The Warriors are reportedly looking for ways to trade Porzingis amid his ongoing health issues.

The Warriors started Stephen Curry, Brandin Podziemski, Yaxel Lendeborg, Gui Santos, and Draymond Green against the Nuggets.

Al Horford, De’Anthony Melton, and Georges Niang all played 18 minutes off the bench. Gary Payton II played 11 minutes while Brandon Williams played 14 minutes. The bench combined for 45 points against the Nuggets with LJ Cryer and Graham Ike also scoring.
