It has been 10 games since Andrew Wiggins last suited up for the Golden State Warriors, and the circumstances around his absence have raised some questions.
Andrew Wiggins has been taking time away from the team due to a family matter, but it seems the situation is a lot more intense than fans initially realized. He may not be back for even a month more, and Stephen Curry recently spoke about it.

“Friend to friend, teammate to teammate, just sending him support,” Stephen Curry said when asked if he has been in contact with Wiggins lately. “It’s a tough situation in terms of him being away for so long. But life is bigger than basketball. Whatever him and his family going through, that’s all that matters. Whenever he’s ready to come back, I’m sure he will. That’s how he’s built in terms of being available.”
Stephen Curry went on to comment about the sort of lives NBA players lead as well, an interesting and insightful take: “It’s interesting, there’s such a big spotlight on what we do on a day-to-day basis and the fact that we have so many people that rely on us on a daily basis. To be able to give that energy back to your family is huge. So we support him and all that, and whenever he’s ready to come back, we’ll be there.”
The Golden State Warriors have built a culture of support and locker-room bonds that make players feel supported and valued. Andrew Wiggins has become an integral part of their team, having been instrumental in their championship win. It’s great to see that Stephen Curry and the organization have his back in what appears to be a tough situation for him. His absence could end up being much longer as well.
Steve Kerr Said Andrew Wiggins Could Miss The Rest Of The Season
Andrew Wiggins provides the Golden State Warriors with 17 points and 5 rebounds per game while also playing elite defense. He is a big miss for them on the court, and they could have to play without him for the rest of the season according to Steve Kerr.
“I think that’s the hope,” said Kerr. “There’s nothing to report on. We’re giving him space, as we’ve talked about, as he deals with something that’s way more important than the game.”
The Golden State Warriors have climbed up to the 6th seed in the Western Conference, and could once again make waves once the playoffs begin if all their players can stay healthy. Having Andrew Wiggins back will be pivotal to that, but it’s more important for him to deal with whatever issue has kept him sidelined.
