Draymond Green Gives Uncertain Response About Andrew Wiggins Returning

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins is still out for personal reasons

Having missed the last 17 games for personal reasons, nobody knows when Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins will return. The Warriors have not officially announced anything regarding his potential return, but there have been indications from both players and coaches that seem to suggest his return is certainly not a guarantee.

During a recent episode of his podcast, Draymond Green said, "We'll see" when talking about the possibility of Wiggins returning. Similar to the tone and word choice that has been used by Steve Kerr and others, this answer from Green seemed to suggest a level of uncertainty that Wiggins returns at any point this season.

This entire situation is incredibly unfortunate, but the number one focus remains on Wiggins and the well-being of him and his family. While the Warriors certainly want their two-way wing back in the mix, they understand there are bigger things than basketball, and are allowing him to tend to his family during what seems to be a very difficult time. 

Before stepping away from the team, Wiggins was averaging 17 PPG, 5 RPG, and just over 2 APG. Wiggins was also shooting 47.3% from the field and 39.6% from deep. Also playing solid defense, the overall play of Wiggins this season was huge for the Warriors before he went out. It is hard to imagine Golden State being able to make it out of the Western Conference without Wiggins, but the team is focused on doing what they need to do in order to defend their title.
