New Details on Andew Wiggins' Sudden Warriors Absence Revealed

New details have emerged about Andrew Wiggins' absence.

As Andrew Wiggins is set to miss his third consecutive game due to personal reasons, some concern looms as to when he's going to return, especially after missing multiple months last season.

According to a new report from Shams Charania, Wiggins is actually dealing with a personal family matter during this important time.

"I'm told Andrew Wiggins is dealing and tending to a serious family matter right now," Charania said. "The Warriors are giving him his space, they're giving him his time. The expectation is Andrew Wiggins will be returning some point this season. They're optimistic about that, but they also understand he's going through this process."

With the bits and details being revealed, it sounds like there is no timetable for when Andrew Wiggins is going to return. The Warriors are going to give him as much space as he needs, with the expectation that he returns, but they don't exactly know when that is. Fortunately, Moses Moody has done a tremendous job of stepping up in Wiggins' absence, giving him some much-needed breathing room.

Whatever Andrew Wiggins is dealing with sounds incredibly serious, and it's something that fans should give him all the space and respect that he needs. Lost in the game of basketball is the fact every player is also a human being who goes through the same problems everyone else does.
