The Golden State Warriors will start their upcoming road trip without a key piece in the starting lineup.
After missing consecutive games due to injury, Andrew Wiggins is expected to be out for Golden State’s contests against the Milwaukee Bucks and Indiana Pacers due to an adductor strain.
With Wiggins set to miss more time, the Warriors are bringing in reinforcements from the G League. On Monday, the Warriors recalled rookie forward Patrick Baldwin Jr. The former No. 28 overall pick will give the Warriors some depth off the bench to start their road swing.
