Wiggins last played for Golden State on February 13 against the Washington Wizards and notched up 29 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists to help the side register a 135-126 win. But he has been away from the team since due to personal reasons.
Per The Athletic’s Shams Charania, he missed the games to be with his father, who was reportedly dealing with medical issues. On that note, prayers up for his father.

Well-wishing fans were happy that he was back, and that he had resolved whatever was troubling him.
I just hope whatever kept him out was resolved or not too serious. It’s not our business, but I genuinely wish him well. https://t.co/9WW16Id2oW

Per Fox Sports, Melissa Rohlin, this was prime good news. “This is a big boost for the Warriors, who have three games remaining and are in sixth place, only a half-game ahead of both the Lakers and Pelicans.”

The Warriors have three games remaining in the regular season and will face the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Sacramento Kings, and the Portland Trail Blazers — all three contests that will be tested, especially with the Los Angeles Lakers and the New Orleans Pelicans in hot pursuit.
Perhaps it’s time to soon say, Welcome back, Wiggins, if he does suit up this week.
