Andrew Wiggins

Steph Curry expressed his support for Andrew Wiggins, who has been away from the team for an extended period of time due to a family matter.

To be able to give that energy back to your family is huge. "It's interesting, there's such a big spotlight on what we do on a daily basis and the fact that we have so many people that rely on us on a daily basis. I know he's missing the vibe and being with us and we miss him too.

After leading a wild comeback against the Bucks, Stephen Curry, took the chance to shine the spotlight on Warriors teammate Andrew Wiggins.

This is a tough situation in terms of him being away for so long but necessary. While Andrew Wiggins’ reason for the leave has understandably been kept private, Curry fully expects his fellow Warriors All-Star back sooner rather than later. He has missed Golden State’s last 11 games since as his personal absence has kept him out for a month.

Steve Kerr said the “hope” is that Andrew Wiggins returns this season, but it isn't a sure thing. Here's the full soundbite. The media could not be played.

Golden State Warriors have no timetable for Andrew Wiggins' return after he's missed 11 games for a personal matter.

He knows that we all have his back and he can take as much time as he needs and we’re all really good support system and wish him nothing but the best.” “We’re giving him strength and all of the support that he needs and whenever he’s ready to come back, whenever he’s ready to join the team, he will… “We’re giving him space, as we’ve talked about, as he deals with something that’s way more important than the game.

Golden State Warriors' head coach Steve Kerr provided a rather concerning update on Andrew Wiggins prior to Saturday's game.

He is currently dealing with a family issue and has been granted as much time away from the team as he needs. Golden State are missing a player who can defend the opposition’s best wing, helping Klay Thompson who is no longer what he once was defensively pre-injury. The Canadian had 29 points, seven rebounds and four assists, with that performance showing he was finally starting to come along after struggling for a period post-injury.

While it was not an official update, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr indicated that Andrew Wiggins' return this season is not guaranteed.
