More on this storyline
There’s a reason Wiggins hasn’t been ruled out for the season. There remains a belief he might show up in the coming days. It isn’t blind ambition. There’s been some level of signaling. But the clock is ticking and nobody behind the scenes is guaranteeing anything. Wiggins has told them he has been working out privately recently, but an intake process and some amount of ramp-up will be needed if he does return. -via The Athletic / April 3, 2023
CJ Holmes: Still no updates on Andrew Wiggins. If Wiggins can’t return this season, Steve Kerr says he’ll likely continue to ride with Donte DiVincenzo as a starter entering the postseason. -via Twitter @CjHolmes22 / March 31, 2023
“Donte has been fantastic,” Kerr said Thursday to reporters after Warriors practice. “He started out the season playing 20 minutes a night. And then with the injuries, he’s started to play more. And then the absence of [Andrew Wiggins] — putting him in the starting lineup, putting him on the best offensive player at the beginning of games — he just shows you how versatile he is. Donte I think is one of those guys who helps you in so many different ways that you can plug him into any lineup. To me, that is his true value.” -via NBC Sports / March 31, 2023
