The Golden State Warriors have done quite well in Stephen Curry’s absence. Steph has now missed 10 games in a row since suffering a leg injury against the Dallas Mavericks at the start of February. Many believed that the Warriors‘ playoff hopes took a major hit. However, the defending champs have been phenomenal, mainly because of Klay Thompson, Jordan Poole, and the team’s other youngsters. They have a record of 6-4 and have won four in a row.
One of the key players that the Warriors are missing will be Andrew Wiggins. The last time he played a game for the Warriors would be on February 13, against the Washington Wizards. It has been almost a month since Wiggins set foot on the NBA court.
When will Andrew Wiggins return for the Golden State Warriors?
According to multiple reports, Wiggins is currently out due to family issues. This has brought countless questions to fans’ minds as they try to figure out what could be happening with Wiggins’ family. The player moved to The Bay back in 2020 and won the NBA title in 2022. He hadn’t faced many issues up until this point.
