Warriors’ Andrew Wiggins shows off his handles during drill at offseason workout

During an offseason workout in Los Angeles, Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins was going through a dribbling drill.

With the Golden State Warriors off the court, Andrew Wiggins has provided a behind the scenes look at his offseason workouts. The former Rookie of the Year winner has been spotted working on his long-distance jumper and downhill layup drills.

The new Golden State forward also joined a 1-on-1 training session with fellow NBA players Jordan Bell, Tony Snell and Trey Lyles. On Wednesday, Wiggins was back in the gym.

Basketball trainer Chris Johnson shared a video of Wiggins working on his handles in a Los Angeles based gym. During the ball-handling drill, Wiggins donned a yellow “The City” shirt that matches his Golden State themed shoes.

During his debut run in Golden State, Wiggins tallied 19.4 points on 45.7% shooting from the field with 4.6 boards, 3.6 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.3 steals per contest.

After putting in consistent work throughout the offseason, Wiggins could have the chance to join his teammates on the court at Chase Center soon. With the league eyeing late December for the start of the 2020-21 season, Wiggins could be putting his handles to work at Golden State’s preseason training camp.

Before the season tips off, Wiggins will need to build feel and chemistry with teammates Steph Curry and [lawrence-related id=32119]at the practice facility. As the Warriors’ All-Star backcourt dealt with injuries throughout his arrival to the Bay Area, Wiggins and Curry shared the rotation only once.

How Wiggins adapts to playing alongside the Splash Brothers will be one of the key storylines to follow at the start of Golden State’s 2020-21 campaign.

Broncos post highlight video of players working out

Broncos players have put in a lot of work this offseason!

The Broncos were not able to have official on-field workouts this spring because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many players worked out on their own time, though, and they shared clips of their work on social media.

Denver made a highlight video from those player workouts:

That should get fans pretty excited for the 2020 season!

Broncos rookies are set to report for training camp in one week from today and veterans are scheduled to report in two weeks.

LOOK: Broncos players are practicing in Denver

Here are photos of Broncos quarterback Drew Lock practicing with teammates in the Denver area.

Broncos quarterback Drew Lock and several teammates held an unofficial practice in the Denver area on Tuesday. Lemar Griffin, a local photographer, posted a GIF on Twitter of Lock throwing a pass to running back Phillip Lindsay during the workout session.

Griffin also shared some photos of tight end Noah Fant catching passes from Lock.

On his Instagram page, @lemargriffinfilms, Griffin shared several more photos — including shots of defensive lineman Shelby Harris and outside linebacker Justin Hollins attending the voluntary practice.

NFL teams are not allowed to hold official practices with coaches at this time of year but players are allowed to workout on a voluntary basis. The NFL Players Association did advise against unofficial practices because of COVID-19 but that hasn’t stopped players from working out together.

Lock previously organized practices with teammates at a local park. Tuesday’s session appears to have taken place at a local high school.

NFL, NFLPA agree to updated “virtual” voluntary offseason workout program

The NFL and players are trying to keep as normal as possible given the constraints

The NFL and NFLPA have reached an agreement on how players and teams can conduct offseason voluntary workout programs. According to a report laid out in a series of tweets, NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero notes the workouts will go on despite the coronavirus pandemic-related closures of NFL training facilities and limits of people allowed in one place.

Right now, all NFL team facilities are mandated by the league to remain closed. That closure will remain in effect for every team until all 32 teams are able to open their facilities in accordance with local regulations.

Teams will be able to conduct the workout sessions with players via teleconferencing apps for three weeks, beginning on April 20th. They must be completed by May 15th.

One interesting note: teams will be allowed to send players training equipment up to a value of $1,500.
