Andrew Wiggins 's right adductor muscle strain injury seems to have been completely healed. At least some time ago, there was news that Wiggins 's injury may completely allow him to participate in the Warriors' home games against the Hornets and Jazz back-to-back games.
Of course, Wiggins did not play for the Warriors in the games against the Hornets and Jazz, and he did not even play in the last game against the Trail Blazers. Moreover, in the Warriors' official injury report, Wiggins was still listed as absent due to non-COVID-19 illnesses. But the good news is that Wiggins has participated in the team's 3-on-3 training and is very close to returning to the game.
Kerr told reporters in an interview that he hopes Wiggins can return to the starting lineup in the Warriors' next game against the Hawks:
The Warriors' policy for the return of injured players is that they must participate in the team's team training before returning, so unless Wiggins suffers from injury problems again, we are still very likely to see Wiggins return against the Hawks.
Wiggins' last game for the Warriors was when the Warriors defeated the Rockets on December 4, Beijing time. Wiggins scored 36 points and hit 8 three-pointers in that game. This is enough to show that Wiggins has raised his offensive level to a higher level in the 2022-23 season. As for Wiggins' potential comeback, the best-case scenario is definitely that Wiggins can get some playing time.
So far this season, Wiggins is still averaging 19.1 points and 5.1 rebounds per game for the Warriors. In addition, he has a career-high 45% three-point shooting rate. In the games where Wiggins was absent, the Warriors were able to post a record of 5 wins and 7 losses, including a recent 4-game winning streak.
