Upgraded Injury Status for Star Player in the Warriors.
Thankfully, Andrew Wiggins will be upgraded for Saturday’s game after missing the Warriors’ previous game against the LA Clippers on Thursday night because he slammed a car door on his finger. In the Warriors’ matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday, Andrew Wiggins has been upgraded from out to questionable. But Chris Paul is still sidelined for the Clippers game.
Even though Andrew Wiggins was out of the Warriors’ most recent game against the Clippers, all of the younger players performed admirably in his place. All of the young players were thrown into the fire by Wiggins, Paul, and Payton II’s absences, and they all flourished against an All-Star Clippers team.
Make no mistake, the Golden State Warriors are not a better team without Andrew Wiggins. His offensive prowess, defense, and ability to rebound are all crucial pieces to the Warriors’ success. One would expect that the LA Clippers make the necessary adjustments to shut down the Warriors for Saturday’s game, but the Clippers have been incredibly unpredictable this season. One day, they’ll destroy a healthy Dallas Mavericks team while they’re on a back-to-back themselves. The next day, they’ll lose to a very shorthanded Denver Nuggets while the opposition is on a road back-to-back. Regardless of whether or not Andrew Wiggins plays on Saturday, the Golden State Warriors need to be ready for a very desperate Clippers team.
