Is Stephen Curry playing tonight vs the Minnesota Timberwolves? Latest update on the Golden State Warriors star’s injury report (January 26, 2026)

Stephen Curry's status remains the primary concern for the Golden State Warriors as they prepare for a high-stakes rematch against the Minnesota Timberwolves. After a dominant performance on Sunday (111-85), the Warriors now face the second night of a back-to-back in Minneapolis on January 26, 2026. Stephen Curry, despite being questionable for the last matchup, played through soreness, but his availability for tonight is listed as TBD, with a final decision expected following pregame warmups.The game will be played at the Target Center in Minneapolis. The matchup is a rare consecutive meeting between the two teams following a scheduling change due to a local incident that postponed their original Saturday clash. Golden State enters the game with a 26-21 record after securing a 111–85 victory on Sunday. Minnesota, currently 27-19, and would be looking to snap the five-game losing streak and protect their home court against a short-handed Warriors squad.Stephen Curry is averaging 27.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 5.0 assists this season while shooting 39% from beyond the arc and 46.8% from the field. In Sunday's win, he logged 26 points and 7 assists while going for 7-18 from the floor and 3-10 from the three-point line in under 28 minutes. Despite the blowout win, Curry’s TBD status remains a turbulent point for the Warriors squad as their offense systematically revolves around Stephen Curry’s presence on the court. With Butler out, the Warriors need some gravity like Curry on the hardwood.When asked if he will play tonight, Stephen Curry said, "If everything goes well with the recovery and all that. Hopefully it (the knee) will respond well." At 37 years old, the two-time MVP has already missed 11 games this season, and as per league rules, he can only miss six more to remain eligible for All-NBA honors. If Stephen Curry is sidelined, Golden State will likely turn to Buddy Hield and Moses Moody to fill the scoring void. However, without their centerpiece, the Warriors face an uphill battle against a Minnesota defense that is hungry for a bounce-back win.
