The Minnesota Timberwolves have hit an unexpected slump after losing four consecutive games in the 2025-26 NBA regular season. Anthony Edwards-led Timberwolves will look to get back in the win column as they will next host the Golden State Warriors on Saturday night. While the Wolves have endured a rough stretch, the Warriors lost their last two games and are dealing with Jimmy Butler’s season-ending injury.

The Timberwolves suffered close defeats in their last four games, three of them on the road, and lost to the Bulls in their last game at Target Center. Despite losing five of their last 10 games, Minnesota is ranked seventh in the West with a 27-17 record.

The Warriors, on the other hand, are dealing with major issues. After Butler’s injury, Jonathan Kuminga returned to the rotation. However, his return was short-lived as the Warriors forward suffered a gruesome leg injury during their recent loss to the Dallas Mavericks. The Warriors are battling to clinch a playoff berth, currently ranked eighth with a 25-21 record.
