Andrew Wiggins Still Away From The Warriors

Since February 13th, Wiggins has been away from Golden State due to personal matters. Despite the extended leave of absence, Steve Kerr and the organization still believe Wiggins can make his return this season.

Kerr has stated that this is “way more important than a game” and that they’ll be preparing for his return and looking at strategies if he can’t return.

“We’re giving him his space, as we’ve talked about, as he deals with something that’s way more important than a game,” Kerr said. “If he’s able to come back, that would be great. And if not, then that’s the case. Whatever happens, we’ll handle it accordingly.”

Andrew Wiggins has appeared in 37 games averaging 17.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.2 steals in 32.2 minutes.

Andrew Wiggins Dealing With Serious Family Matter

For the second season in a row, Andrew Wiggins was granted a leave of absence after another family matter popped up. The Golden State Warriors are giving him his space and the ability to fix what’s going on in his personal life.

“I’m told Andrew Wiggins is dealing and tending to a serious family matter right now, and the Warriors are giving him his space, they’re giving him his time,” said Shams Charania.

Head coach Steve Kerr hopes he will return to the lineup season, as nobody knows how many games he will miss due to this matter.

Last season, he missed a total of 25 games due to his family issues.

Mavericks Prefer Kyle Kuzma Over Andrew Wiggins

When reports were coming out about Andrew Wiggins’ historically low trade value, they weren’t kidding. Add another team that isn’t jumping up and down to acquire Wiggins; as Marc Stein reports, Dallas currently has different priorities.

While Wiggins was on their list, the Mavericks prefer players like Kyle Kuzma and PJ Washington as their primary trade targets.

Stein added that both the Golden State Warriors and Dallas had not opened any trade talks surrounding Wiggins.

The Mavericks have assets to go out and get Kuzma and/or Washington; this doesn’t come as a shock because they want someone to complement both Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.

Andrew Wiggins Cleared For Game 1

It has been reported by Shams Charania of The Athletic that Andrew Wiggins has been cleared by the Warriors to play in Saturday’s game against the Kings.

Wiggins is set to play 20-25 minutes off the bench in Game 1, where he is making his long-awaited return since lasting playing on February 13th.

Per Steve Kerr, the 28-year-old looked very good during scrimmages and that his conditioning should not effect him too much – hence why the team gave him permission to play again.

The Warriors go on the road to take on the Kings Saturday at 5:30 PM Mountain Standard Time. ESPN will be hosting the game.
