Joe Mussatto @joe_mussatto
Mark Daigneault said he’d be surprised if Wiggins starts tomorrow night at Memphis. He said they could look at starting another guard, or even go big. Nothing concrete yet. – 1:25 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Mark Daigneault “we are not locked in to not starting [Darius Bazley] and we we are not locked in on starting [Aaron] Wiggins, I’d actually be shocked if Wiggins started tomorrow.”
Lineup change coming again, mentioned two bigs. – 1:24 PM
Joe Mussatto @joe_mussatto
Five takeaways from Thunder-Clippers
• SGA’s game winner
• Dort’s driving
• Giddey’s shot at history
• Why Bazley was benched
• Why Wiggins is next up

Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Really good ball fake by Wiggins to create a window to pass to JRE, but couldn’t get it to him. Process was there, results weren’t. – 8:14 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Awesome for Aaron Wiggins to knock down his first shot of the game, small sample size but a strong communicator on defense. – 8:13 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles

Mark Daigneault on Wiggins starting in place of Bazley: “He has given us a lot of confidence that when you put him on the court, he’s ready to play. He’s impressed.” – 6:31 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Mark Daigneault says Aaron Wiggins has “impressed us.” He has impressed me too. – 6:29 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Mark Daigneault says Aaron Wiggins has showed a “readiness” and “consistency of approach” says “he is going to improve because of how he attacks the program.” – 6:27 PM

“Everything factors in” – Steve Kerr responding to a question about if crossing the border into Canada impacted the decision to sit Curry, Green, and Wiggins – 6:04 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
The Thunder list Lu Dort as questionable for tonight’s game against the Clippers. Vit Krejci is with the Blue as is Aaron Wiggins. Poku, Jerome, and Mann were recalled to the Thunder and available. – 1:17 PM
Josh Lewenberg @JLew1050
Warriors players who are out & didn’t make the trip to Toronto for tonight’s game vs the Raptors: Curry (rest), Green (hip), Wiggins (knee), Poole (protocols), Iguodala (knee), Porter (foot), Thompson, Wiseman.
That’s $156.4 million or 87% of their league-high $178.9 M payroll. – 10:40 AM
Michael Grange @michaelgrange
Per the Warriors: Draymond Green (hip); Andrew Wiggins (knee); Steph Curry (rest); Andre Iguodala (knee); Otto Porter jr. (foot) and Jordan Poole (protocols) will not play tonight vs. Raptors. Klay Thompson and James Wiseman remain out. – 9:23 AM

Nick Friedell @NickFriedell
Iguodala said he knew he would like playing with Wiggins after talking to Jimmy Butler:
“Jimmy Butler had nothing but amazing things to say about Wiggs. He really liked playing with Wiggs. That was all I needed to hear to be honest because Jimmy doesn’t like anybody.” – 11:18 PM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Andre Iguodala on Andrew Wiggins: “We had a common teammate — Jimmy Butler. Jimmy had nothing but positive things to say about Wiggs. That was all I needed to hear.” pic.twitter.com/iAo9vcnS3I11:13 PM

Nick Friedell @NickFriedell
An honest answer from Wiggins, when asked if he’s glad he got vaccinated given the cases spiking all across the NBA: “No, I’m not. But it is what it is, I guess. – 10:59 PM
Jay King @ByJayKing
Ime Udoka said he didn’t love the Celtics’ physicality on Andrew Wiggins early. – 10:30 PM

The Warriors are 24-5.
Steph finishes with 30 points, five rebounds and four assists. Wiggins poured in another 27 points. Warriors now 3-1 on this trip — setting up possibility of a rest night for several veterans in Toronto on Saturday on second night of a back to back. – 10:16 PM
Gary Washburn @GwashburnGlobe
#Celtics lose to #Warriors 111-107 in a game they could have won. Those four Curry FTs at the half and eight missed FTs in the second half doom BOS. Tatum 27, Brown 20; Curry 30, Wiggins 27. Iguodala 12. – 10:16 PM
StatMuse @statmuse
Andrew Wiggins tonight:
27 PTS
6 REB
5-7 3P
He is averaging career-highs in FG% and 3P% this season. pic.twitter.com/t2wf8xMy0C10:15 PM

Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
After 3 in Boston: Warriors 82, Celtics 81
-GSW usually owns Q3, but scored only 14 pts, allowing their 12p lead shrink to 1
-Wiggins 27p, Curry 25, no one else more than 6 (Loon) – 9:39 PM
Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
END OF Q3: Warriors up 82-81 on the Celtics. Golden State needs to get a bit more production from someone other than Wiggins (27 points) and Curry (25). No one else has more than six points. – 9:38 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Warriors lead 82-81 after three
Tatum – 20 points

Wiggins and Curry were a combined 2-for-11 FG with 8pts in 3Q. #Celtics #Warriors9:37 PM
Gary Washburn @GwashburnGlobe
#Celtics outscore #Warriors 27-14 in 3Q and trail 82-81 entering 4th. Tatum 20, Brown 16, Smart 14, Richardson 13; Wiggins 27, Curry 25. – 9:36 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
The Celtics say Romeo Langford is out with neck pain after that elbow from Andrew Wiggins. Boston is now down seven players, including four rotation guys. – 8:56 PM
Kerith Burke @KerithBurke
18 points for Wiggins in the 2Q, a new career high for a quarter. He has 24 points in 17 minutes, a very efficient start on 10-16 FG, 4-6 3P. – 8:53 PM
Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
I’ll be fascinated to see how Klay Thompson’s return affects Andrew Wiggins. For well over a month now, Wiggins has been a two-way force. Thompson’s return should only make things easier on Wiggins. – 8:52 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Warriors lead 68-54 at the half
Richardson – 13 points
Smart – 11 points
Tatum – 9 points
Brown – 8 points
Celtics – 9-22 threes
Celtics – 7 turnovers
Wiggins – 24 points

Warriors – 9-26 threes
Warriors – 9 offensive rebounds
Warriors – 4 turnovers – 8:51 PM
Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Steph finished the half +2 because of those free throws with Warriors up 14.
That’s how good Wiggins was – 8:50 PM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Andrew Wiggins: 18 second quarter points, 24 in the first half on 10-of-17 shooting. Active on the glass (six rebounds), disruptive on defense. That Minnesota game was five weeks ago. Wiggins has been consistently good to great for five weeks. – 8:46 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Wiggins just took a 1-on-4 heat check three in transition and it wasn’t even a bad shot, with how he’s been hitting everything. – 8:45 PM
Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
Andrew Wiggins is spending this season shooting holes in all the years of quibbling about what he’s not doing. Paul George is the only SF in the West that has consistently been more effective – 8:37 PM
Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Wiggins is ABUSING the Celtics – 8:37 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Andrew Wiggins has 15 points in the second quarter and 21 points for the game. His career-high is 47 points. – 8:36 PM
Nick Friedell @NickFriedell
Wiggins has really been playing well over the last month — he’s got a little extra bounce in his step and has been a difference maker on both ends. He’s already got 21 points tonight and should get even more space once Klay returns. – 8:36 PM
Chris Grenham @chrisgrenham
There’s just not a whole lot of resistance from Boston’s defense right now. Andrew Wiggins is up to 21 points with five minutes left in the second quarter. – 8:36 PM
Jay King @ByJayKing
Andrew Wiggins has 21 points midway through the second quarter. – 8:35 PM
John Karalis @John_Karalis
Ime Udoka called TO after that Wiggins 3 and spent a bunch of time trying to clear something up with Jaylen & Enes. Enes was way back and JB seemed to expect something different there. – 8:33 PM
Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
Warriors use a 14-4 run to take a 16-point lead midway through the second. Wiggins (18 points on 8-for-12 shooting, 7 rebounds and 2 assists) is having himself a night. – 8:33 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
After a complete miscommunication between Jaylen Brown and Enes Freedom leads to a wide open Andrew Wiggins 3-pointer, Ime Udoka calls another timeout and goes up to both of them. Wiggins now leads all scorers with 18, and the Warriors have doubled their lead with Steph sitting. – 8:32 PM
Gary Washburn @GwashburnGlobe
Udoka just chewed out Jaylen after Wiggins splashes a transition 3. GSW 55, BOS 39. – 8:31 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
The Celtics say Romeo Langford is questionable to return with neck pain. He got caught with an accidental elbow to the back of the head by Andrew Wiggins in the first quarter. He currently isn’t on the bench. – 8:25 PM
Brian Robb @BrianTRobb
Seven straight points for Wiggins. He’s getting whatever he wants right now against C’s in post. – 8:21 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Warriors lead 34-26 after one
Smart – 7 points
Brown – 6 points
Celtics – 40% shooting
Celtics – 3 turnovers
Curry – 16 points
Wiggins – 6 points
Warriors – 50% shooting
Warriors – 5 offensive rebounds
Warriors – 2 turnovers – 8:17 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Langford got clobbered, but this isn’t a flagrant. Wiggins wasn’t trying to get him. – 8:01 PM
