Andrew Wiggins won’t play in either of the Golden State Warriors final two regular season games, but he’s rapidly ramping up to be ready for the playoffs. Wiggins recently returned to the Warriors after a seven-week absence from the team. Wiggins was dealing with a family matter while away from the team.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr said the team is ramping Wiggins up quickly, given the looming postseason.
“Obviously if this were the middle of the season, this would be a couple of weeks, and so with the playoffs starting next week, obviously we’re trying to ramp him up as quickly as possible, but we have to do that making sure we do it safely,” said Kerr.
Wiggins has responded positively to the increased workload.
“He’ll be getting more work in the next few days and the performance staff is monitoring everything,” Kerr said. “He told me this morning he feels pretty good and he’s on a good track.”
