Game 5 of the best-of-seven series between the Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves will take place Wednesday night at the Target Center. Minnesota aims to eliminate the Warriors in the second round, promising a raucous atmosphere.

Steph Curry, absent since leaving Game 1 early, remains sidelined for the fourth consecutive game.

However, the Warriors received encouraging news about their All-Star point guard, hoping for his return in Game 6 and potentially Game 7.

According to a recent update from Golden State Warriors public relations, Curry is showing positive progress in his recovery, engaging in light on-court workouts and shooting drills. His potential return could provide a significant boost to the Warriors' playoff campaign, injecting crucial firepower and leadership.

Golden State will need a win Wednesday night and a positive evaluation on Saturday for Curry to potentially return this season. He continues to make good progress in his recovery, which includes shooting drills.

The Warriors managed to win Game 1, 99-88, despite Curry's absence in the later stages. Subsequently, they lost the following three games by an average of 12 points each.

Before his injury, Curry averaged 22.6 points per game over eight games.

Jimmy Butler remains a key scoring threat for Golden State, averaging 10.4 points per game in his first postseason with the team.

If the Warriors secure victories in Game 5 and Sunday's home game, Game 7 will take place on May 20 at the Target Center. The series outcome hinges on Curry's potential return, which could shift the momentum significantly in Golden State's favor.
