Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr remains hopeful that Andrew Wiggins will return this season after the veteran forward missed his 20th straight game because of a family matter. Wiggins has been working out on his own every day, but when and if he returns to the defending NBA champions, the training and medical staffs would need to evaluate his fitness and how much he might be able to contribute and how soon. “Beyond that, once he’s back our training staff will be able to get with him and see where he is,” Kerr said Tuesday.

Steve Kerr: “Draymond willed us to victory tonight. Just the intensity, the frustration early with the way we were playing. Mad at the world, yelling at everybody — their bench, our bench, me — and frankly we deserved it.” – 12:57 AM

That second half is exactly why if Golden State has Andrew Wiggins back, the Warriors remain my pick to win the West — despite everything that’s happened. – 12:37 AM

I’d love to be a fly on the wall of the Warriors locker room right now. 13 turnovers, allowing the Pels to shoot 64+ % from deep. Steve Kerr better be making some tactical and rotation adjustments too. #dubnation – 11:27 PM

TNT notes that Steve Kerr is on verge of a technical foul. During #Pelicans last trip to Golden State, you could’ve said that about Draymond at least 27 times – 10:41 PM

Mark Daigneault calls a timeout, let’s see if they can turn this game back around. Daigneault always talks about the Juice Aaron Wiggins provides and OKC needs it now. I hope he puts him in. – 10:02 PM

Kerr said pregame Andrew Wiggins is working out every day. “Once he’s back, our training staff will get with him and see where he is (physically).”
“There’s hope” he returns, and Kerr has not considered shutting him down for the season. “No. Hasn’t even been discussed.” – 8:35 PM

Still no timeline update on Andrew Wiggins, per Steve Kerr. But Kerr says that Wiggins has been working out every day since being away from the team dealing with a family matter.
Once he’s back with the team, trainers will assess where he’s at conditioning-wise. – 8:25 PM

Draymond Green is “disgusted” over “cringeworthy” rumors about Andrew Wiggins, who has had a prolonged absence from the team. Green addressed the matter in a fiery rant on his podcast the day after Golden State’s 121-108 victory over the Rockets — which marked Wiggins’ 16th missed game in a row for “personal reasons.” -via New York Post / March 25, 2023
