Stephen Curry, Draymond Green to miss Warriors' game at Minnesota

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Stephen Curry and Draymond Green won't play for Golden State on Monday night at Minnesota due to injuries.

Both players suited up Sunday afternoon as the Warriors defeated the Timberwolves 111-85 in Minneapolis. But coach Steve Kerr said Curry's balky right knee was causing him enough trouble on Monday morning to rule him out.

Green is sidelined with a back injury.

Kerr expressed hope that both players would be back in the lineup for Wednesday's game at Utah.

The Warriors were already short-handed after losing forward Jimmy Butler for the season with a torn ACL. Forward Jonathan Kuminga also will sit out with a bone bruise and a hyperextended left knee.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — All-Star pitcher Joe Ryan and the Minnesota Twins avoided salary arbitration Monday, agreeing to a one-year contract that guarantees $6.2 million.

Ryan gets $6.1 million this year — the midpoint of the $6.35 million he asked for and the $5.85 million the Twins offered when the sides exchanged proposed salaries on Jan. 8. The deal includes a $13 million mutual option for 2027 with a $100,000 buyout.

A 29-year-old right-hander, Ryan was 13-10 with a career-best 3.42 ERA in 30 starts and one relief appearance last year, when he had a $3 million salary. He is on track to become eligible for free agency after the 2027 World Series.

Fifteen players remain scheduled for hearings before three-person panels, which run through Feb. 13 in Scottsdale, Arizona.

In the most prominent case, two-time AL Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal asked for a record $32 million, while the Detroit Tigers offered the left-hander $19 million.
