Beijing time on January 17, 2017! The Timberwolves played the Warriors at home in the NBA regular season, and the core curry of the Warriors has returned home due to injury in this game, receiving additional treatment for his right hand injury, after Curry suffered a sore right hand during a fall against the Bulls. The team also officially announced Green's injury today, and will be absent for at least 2 weeks due to a sore left calf injury.
