ANDREW WIGGINS NEWS

Joins second unit Wiggins will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

Impact Coach Steve Kerr is replacing Wiggins with Brandin Podziemski in the first unit. Wiggins has really struggled next to Jonathan Kuminga, so it's not a surprise to see Kerr stagger those two again. Wiggins has also been in a brutal slump, scoring a combined six points in his last two games.

Lackluster results as starter Wiggins finished Sunday's 133-118 loss to Toronto with three points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 17 minutes.

Impact The 28-year-old got the first chance at a starting role following Chris Paul's hand injury, but Wiggins struggled to generate much production during Sunday's blowout loss. He was held to a single-digit scoring total for a second consecutive game and was outplayed by Moses Moody, who tallied 21 points and three rebounds in 22 minutes off the bench. It's unclear whether Wiggins will remain in the starting lineup moving forward, and Sunday's performance didn't do much to instill confidence.

Starting Sunday Wiggins is starting Sunday's game against Toronto, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

Impact Wiggins was benched by the Warriors in mid-December and has come off the bench in his 10 appearances since then. However, he'll return to the starting lineup Sunday with Chris Paul (hand) facing a multi-week absence. It's unclear whether Wiggins will have a long-term stint in the starting lineup, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him retain a starting role as long as he can perform well.

Scores 10 points off bench Wiggins amassed 10 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT), three rebounds and two steals in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 121-115 win over Orlando.

Impact Since missing back-to-back games due to an illness, Wiggins has averaged 14.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.5 blocks in 26.0 minutes per game over his last four appearances. That's not stellar production by any means, but Wiggins is still garnering a solid role despite his relegation to the bench. Wiggins has performed better as a reserve, averaging 13.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists in eight appearances off the bench compared to 12.1 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists as a starter (21 games).

Will play Monday Wiggins (illness) will play Monday against the Nuggets, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Wiggins missed back-to-back games due to an illness but will return to action versus Denver. However, before his absence, he lost his starting spot to Brandin Podziemski, so Wiggins is expected to operate off the bench. Across four bench appearances this season, Wiggins has averaged 13.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 25.0 minutes per game.

Iffy Monday Wiggins (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Wiggins is in jeopardy of missing his third consecutive game due to an illness. The 10th-year pro has recently been moved to the bench, where he is averaging 13.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 25.0 minutes through four games. If he is unable to go, Brandin Podziemski and Moses Moody could be in line for extra minutes.

Will not play Saturday Wiggins (illness) will not play in Saturday's game against Portland.

Impact Wiggins last played on Dec. 19 and is struggling to shake this illness. His next chance to play will be Monday against the Nuggets. Brandin Podziemski, who is probable with a back issue, is likely to see a heavy workload against Portland.

Questionable Saturday Wiggins (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Downgraded to out Wiggins (illness) won't play in Friday's game against the Wizards, Shayna Rubin of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Wiggins was a late addition to the injury report Friday and will end up missing the opening leg of a back-to-back set Friday. In his absence, look for Trayce Jackson-Davis and Dario Saric to pick up Wiggins' vacated minutes.

DECEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Late addition to injury report Wiggins (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Wizards.

Available to play Wiggins (illness) is available for Tuesday's game against Boston, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Late addition to injury report Wiggins is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game versus the Celtics due to an illness.

Impact Wiggins's late addition to the injury report is a bad sign of his availability for Tuesday's contest. If Wiggins is ruled out, Brandin Podziemski, Moses Moody and Jonathan Kuminga would be candidates to receive increased minutes.

DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lifts bench with 25-point outing Wiggins recorded 25 points (9-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 29 minutes in Sunday's 118-114 win over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Coming off the bench for the third game in a row while ceding his spot in the starting five to Brandin Podziemski, Wiggins broke out of his funk with a stellar shooting night. The 25 points marked his third-best total of the season, and he supplemented the offense with his second-best rebounding count and a pair of defensive counters. Though Wiggins has still performed well below expectations this season, perhaps the move to the second unit could allow for the 28-year-old to make a return to form. Through his first three games off the bench, Wiggins is averaging 16.0 points (on 56.7 percent shooting), 5.0 rebounds, 1.7 three-pointers, 1.0 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.7 blocks in 25.9 minutes per contest.

Moves to second unit Wiggins will move to the bench for Thursday's game against the Clippers, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Warriors are 10-13 on the season, and coach Steve Kerr has been hinting at possible lineup changes for several days now. Wiggins is coming off a dud in Tuesday's loss to the Suns, as he played just 15 minutes with three points, four rebounds and one assist. Brandin Podziemski will slide into the starting lineup and will make his case to coach Kerr for a larger role.

DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Plays season-low 15 minutes Wiggins recorded three points (1-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist across 15 minutes in Tuesday's 119-116 loss to the Suns.

Impact Wiggins' already miserable season took another turn for the worse Tuesday, as he saw a season-low minutes load despite the fact that Draymond Green was ejected from the contest with 8:23 remaining in third quarter. Despite the game being closely contested heading into the fourth quarter, head coach Steve Kerr didn't turn to Wiggins at any point over the final 12 minutes, instead relying on the likes of Brandin Podziemski, Trayce Jackson-Davis, Moses Moody and Jonathan Kuminga to fill out minutes at either forward spot. Any hope that Wiggins was turning a corner after a 29-point, 10-rebound eruption in a Nov. 28 loss to the Kings appears to have been extinguished. After missing the ensuing two games with a finger injury, Wiggins has averaged 8.0 points and 4.3 rebounds on 26.7 percent shooting from the field while turning the ball over a total of 10 times in three contests since he returned to the lineup.

DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Wednesday Wiggins (finger) will start Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers, Shayna Rubin of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Wiggins missed a pair of games with a finger injury, but he'll be back in action Wednesday night, replacing Moses Moody in the first unit. In the five games leading up to his finger injury, Wiggins averaged 18.6 points and 5.0 rebounds across 30.1 minutes.

DECEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Upgraded to probable Wiggins is considered probable to play Wednesday against Portland, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Wiggins has missed the Warriors prior two contests due to finger soreness, but he appears to be on the mend after fully practicing and scrimmaging Tuesday. Chris Paul (leg) has also been upgraded to probable following a two-game absence, so Golden State could be at full strength Wednesday with the exception of Gary Payton (calf).

Out again Wiggins (finger) will remain sidelined for Saturday's game against the Clippers, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

Impact Wiggins warmed up pregame before the decision was made for him to sit. However, he appears to be nearing a return from what will be a two-game absence. In his place, Moses Moody and Jonathan Kuminga are the prime candidates to see increased minutes.

Iffy for Saturday Wiggins (finger) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

If Wiggins is sidelined again, Moses Moody figures to draw another start, while Jonathan Kuminga would presumably garner an increased role off the bench.

Won't play Thursday Wiggins has been ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Clippers due to right finger soreness.

Impact After being a late addition to the injury report, Wiggins will miss his first game of the season Thursday. Moses Moody and Jonathan Kuminga are candidates to receive extended minutes in his absence. Wiggins' next chance to suit up is Saturday's rematch with the Clippers.

Explodes for 29 points Wiggins closed with 29 points (11-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 124-123 loss to the Kings.

Impact Wiggins had one of his best games of the season, but it wasn't enough to endure the Kings' late rally. Wednesday's game marks the first time Wiggins has scored more than 20 points. It's too early to depend on Wiggins for this kind of output, but a larger sample size that includes similar stat lines can help establish a higher fantasy floor for the veteran.
