Andrew Wiggins

Here is Steph Curry on Andrew Wiggins' extended absence “This is a tough situation with him being away for so long but necessary. Life is bigger than basketball ...

While the root cause of Wiggins’ leave of absence is unclear, what is clear is the severity of the situation and the team is showing their loyalty to him both by not leaking much information on the matter and by allowing Wiggins space and support until he’s ready to return. No matter what the reason is or when the possible return date is, here’s to hoping that all is well in Wiggins’ world and we can see him back on an NBA court again. Andrew Wiggins has been away from the Golden State Warriors for 13 games, and counting, with what the team is calling a serious personal issue.

Andrew Wiggins has been out of the Warriors' lineup for a while, and it seems clear that he is not going to be back soon.

Without Wiggins, the Warriors may not be themselves, but the team understands the difficulties of life. So far, the situation has been tight-knit, but the Golden State Small Foward has missed 13 games in a row. [Andrew Wiggins has been through a lot](/432892-espn-ranks-andrew-wiggins-over-kyrie-irving-nba-twitter-reacts-news) with the Golden State Warriors.

Golden State Warriors: Andrew Wiggins has been away from the team for 13 games, and that absence was glaring in Wednesday's loss to the Clippers.

Wiggins would prefer to be on the court, but the off-the-court stuff takes precedence and isn’t guaranteed to be resolved anytime soon. Like Harrison Barnes in the Warriors’ dynasty’s early days, Wiggins is the linchpin of the Warriors’ small-ball lineup. You get the idea. Without him, the Dubs cannot reach their full potential. He’s been great this season, but the bar is lower for him now on the defensive side. Without him, the Warriors are playing three one-way players — a deadly combination in the postseason. I don’t expect that to change, even in the season’s final weeks. It’s one thing for Zubac to pull down an offensive board against a small-ball lineup, but for Russell Westbrook to grab four — all because the Warriors didn’t have enough bodies at the rim — is unacceptable. Is Wiggins the only route to improvement in those areas? But Wiggins brings all three things to the table. He could have guarded Leonard and George, saving the Warriors from playing a three-guard lineup that was eaten up by those two and Clippers center Ivica Zubac. And while Wiggins isn’t a big man, he’s a 7-footer in wingspan.

“What he's dealing with,” one player said, “is some real (expletive).” Wiggins' privacy deserves to be respected, according to Thompson, and the fact that an ...
