Wiggins hasn’t practiced yet in training camp because he’s been under the weather.
FILE – Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins works against the Orlando Magic during the second half of an NBA basketball game, March 27, 2024, in Orlando, Fla. Canadian Olympic basketball team general manager Rowan Barrett said Friday, June 28, that Golden State is blocking Wiggins from competing in Paris, while the Warriors countered it was a mutual decision between the team and Wiggins.
Wiggins hasn’t participated in it, but he has watched from the sidelines. Still, it must be harder to pick things up visually than to actually do it. There’s a reason walkthroughs exist. After practice wrapped up on Thursday, Wiggins — wearing a mask like the previous two days — got shots up on a side hoop. He has been around the team in the weeks prior to training camp, Kerr said, and his jumper looked smooth; at one point, he swished six consecutive wing 3-pointers.In 2023-24, Wiggins averaged a career-low 13.2 points per game and had his worst 3-point shooting season in years. The past two years have been difficult for Wiggins off the court as well.
The 2022 championship season was the best stretch for Wiggins to date. The former No. 1 overall pick blossomed in the postseason as a knockdown shooter and transition threat while also bottling up other teams’ best players.
