SUMMARY
- Andrew Wiggins has missed the last 4 games for the Warriors.
- Wiggins' absence is reportedly due to personal reasons.
The lack of consistency displayed by Andrew Wiggins continues to be a cause of concern for Golden State Warriors fans. As many of them should still clearly remember, Wiggins played an instrumental role in helping the franchise win its 4th NBA championship in recent history after the 2022 NBA Finals.
Although Andrew did improve his play over the past few weeks, he has missed quite a few games for the Warriors. This has led fans to wonder about what is going on and his potential return timeline.
Andrew Wiggins has missed the last 4 games for the Warriors due to personal reasons
Some fans might be aware that Wiggins has played in 51 of the 60 total games for the Warriors so far this season. He sustained an ankle injury in a matchup against the Atlanta Hawks last month and had to be sidelined for a while.
Not having Wiggins on the court consistently has undoubtedly hurt the Warriors’ chances of contending for another NBA title. While there is no return timetable in sight at the moment, not all hope is lost for the Warriors as there are several young players eager to prove their value on the team.
Can Jonathan Kuminga fill the void left by Wiggins?
After trading away Jordan Poole, many NBA experts criticized the Warriors for sacrificing their young talent in order to hold onto their veteran core. None of them could have predicted that Kuminga would take a tremendous leap forward and transform himself into the best player for GSW, with the obvious exception of Steph Curry.
