DENVER — The Warriors are on the brink of returning a vital piece from last year’s title team, as they seek a jolt to kickstart a hopeful playoff run.
Andrew Wiggins, who has been away from the team for nearly seven weeks, is expected to rejoin the Warriors early this week, league sources confirmed Monday. ESPN initially reported Monday morning on Wiggins’ pending return.
Wiggins has missed the last 22 games to tend to an undisclosed family matter. Wiggins had recently returned to the Bay Area after spending most of this time elsewhere. He has been conditioning on his own, coach Steve Kerr recently said, but the team will assess his game-readiness once he returns to Chase Center.
