SAN FRANCISCO — Andrew Wiggins returned to Chase Center for the first time in more than 40 days. he gave a an opaque answer to his whereabouts during an undisclosed absence that saw him miss 22 regular season games.
“I’d rather keep it private,” he said, seated next to president of basketball operations Bob Myers. “It’s for me and my family and people close to family.” “When you’re in a certain situation and your family needs you and requires your attention and love, that’s my first priority,” Wiggins said. “My career, everything. Family is always first for me. When I felt like I was in a safe space to come back, we got everything settled, not totally settled, but in a safe place where I can come back.”
Wiggins re-enters the fold with Warriors in a Western Conference squeeze. They have three games to solidify a playoff spot and, they hope, escape the play-in tournament as a sixth seed or better. Golden State could use Wiggins’ wing defense and size in their crucial final three regular season games. After Tuesday’s game, the Warriors take on the Sacramento Kings on Friday and Portland Trailblazers on Sunday.
