After Nikola Jokic drilled a buzzer-beater from 40-feet to hand the Warriors another brutal loss, NBA Twitter exploded with reactions.

Injury Report: Andrew Wiggins (illness) questionable vs. Nuggets on Christmas Day

After missing two straight games, Andrew Wiggins is listed as questionable against the Nuggets due to an illness.

With Draymond Green and Gary Payton already set to miss Monday’s prime-time battle on Christmas Day against the Denver Nuggets, the Golden State Warriors could be without another key contributor against the defending champions.

After missing both legs of Golden State’s recent back-to-back against the Washington Wizards and Portland Trail Blazers due to an illness, Andrew Wiggins is listed as questionable for Monday with the same illness.

Via @Kendra__andrews on Twitter:

Without Wiggins, the Warriors will continue to lean on Jonathan Kuminga, Brandin Podziemski and Trayce Jackson-Davis. Chris Paul and Moses Moody could continue to have increased roles off the bench if Wiggins is unavailable on Christmas Day.

The Warriors are set to meet the Nuggets at 11:30 a.m. PT on Monday in Denver.
