Warriors' D'Angelo Russell out again vs. T-Wolves with shoulder injury

Share

When the Warriors take the floor Thursday night, they will be missing several key contributors again.

D'Angelo Russell (shoulder), Willie Cauley-Stein (illness) and Kevon Looney (left abdominal) won't suit up against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Russell and Cauley-Stein did not play in San Antonio on Tuesday night, while Looney will be sidelined for the fifth straight game.

Additionally, rookie guard Jordan Poole is not with the team as he remains on assignment in the G League with the Santa Cruz Warriors.

Russell -- who considered signing with Minnesota in free agency last summer -- has torched the T-Wolves this season. He racked up a career-high 52 points at Target Center on Nov. 8, and dropped in 30 points at Chase Center on Dec. 23.

The Warriors (9-26) have the worst record in the Western Conference, while the T-Wolves (12-21) have lost 13 of 15 and are 2.5 games behind the No. 8 seed Spurs.

Big man Karl-Anthony Towns (left knee) is expected to miss his ninth consecutive game.
