The Warriors are in trouble as we enter the unofficial second half of the season.
Golden State has been without star guard Stephen Curry since Feb. 6 because of a lower left leg injury. It has gone 2-4 in six games without the two-time MVP, falling to 29-30 on the season.
The Warriors were blown out by the Lakers in their first game after the All-Star break, dropping to 10th place in the West. They hold the final spot in the Play-In Tournament by a half-game with only 23 games left in the season, placing increased importance on the home stretch if they want to defend their title.
Will Curry be able to return for the Warriors' contest against the Timberwolves on Sunday? The Sporting News has you covered with all the information you need below.

Is Stephen Curry playing vs. Timberwolves tonight?
The Warriors announced on Feb. 9 that Curry has suffered "partial tears to his superior tibiofibular ligaments and interosseous membrane as well as a contusion to his left lower leg."
Coming out of the All-Star break, they followed up by saying he is making "good progress" and will be re-evaluated in one week, meaning he will not be available for Sunday's game against Minnesota.
The Warriors say Stephen Curry (left leg injury) is making “good progress” and his status will be updated in one week.
