The Golden State Warriors could face their second NBA In-Season Tournament game against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday without their star point guard, Steph Curry. Curry is listed as questionable with right knee soreness for the regular-season matchup at Chase Center, following their 116-110 loss to the Timberwolves on Sunday.

Curry's absence would be a blow to the Warriors, who are aiming to break their three-game losing streak. The nine-time NBA All-Star has been the driving force behind Golden State's offense throughout their 11 games this season. In fact, in the previous encounter against the Timberwolves, Curry outscored the rest of the Warriors' starters, contributing 38 points while the others managed 33 combined.

In the event that Curry is unable to play, the Warriors will rely on Gary Payton II and rookie Brandin Podziemski to step up and fill the void. Veteran Chris Paul is expected to take on a starting role in Curry's absence, providing additional leadership and experience on the court.

The timing of Curry's potential absence is less than ideal for the Warriors, who are eager to bounce back and secure a victory. The team will need to adapt their game strategy and rely on their depth to compensate for the absence of their primary playmaker.

Warriors fans, known as Dub Nation, will anxiously await updates on Curry's condition leading up to Tuesday's game. The second NBA In-Season Tournament game against the Timberwolves will undoubtedly test the team's resilience and ability to perform without their star player.

As the game approaches, the Warrior's coaching staff and medical team will evaluate Curry's right knee soreness to determine if he can take the court. Until then, fans will eagerly hold their breath in anticipation, hoping to see their beloved point guard back in action and leading the team to victory.

In the event that Curry is unable to play on Tuesday, the Warriors will need to draw upon their collective strength, rally together, and find alternative ways to secure the win against the Timberwolves.
