With only three games left on the regular season schedule, the Golden State Warriors got some much-needed positive news regarding Andrew Wiggins before the start of the postseason.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, Wiggins is nearing a return to the court after missing 21 consecutive games due to a personal matter.
Along with his near return to the starting lineup, Wiggins will be in attendance for Golden State’s home game at Chase Center in San Francisco on Tuesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder, per Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Citing sources, Charania also reported the reason for Wiggins’ leave from the Warriors was due to his father Mitchell dealing with a serious medical situation.
