The Golden State Warriors suffered a devastating blow Friday night, losing four more players to injury in a 127-117 defeat to the Minnesota Timberwolves. The loss marked their fourth consecutive defeat and extended their slide in the Western Conference standings.

Already without Jimmy Butler (season-ending ACL tear) and Stephen Curry (right knee issue), the Warriors saw Draymond Green scratched pregame with back soreness, Al Horford leave after five minutes with a calf strain, Seth Curry exit in the second quarter with adductor soreness, and Quinten Post sprain his ankle. Coach Steve Kerr admitted the team is "about as beaten up as any team I can ever remember."

Kristaps Porzingis provided a rare bright spot with 20 points in 22 minutes, but the undermanned Warriors fell behind by 25 points and never recovered. The injury wave comes at a critical juncture as Golden State begins a six-game road trip facing teams like the Knicks and Celtics, putting them at serious risk of falling below the 10th seed. Meanwhile, Anthony Edwards scored 42 points for Minnesota, taunting Curry's absence with trash talk and a corner three.
