The beaming smile and body language say it all -- Golden State Warriors star Andrew Wiggins is back and ready to help the defending champions make another run at the NBA title.
When the first round NBA Western Conference playoff game against the upstart Sacramento Kings tips off Saturday evening, Wiggins will be dressed and ready to play for the first time in months.
It's not quite been the season Wiggins expected after playing such a key factor in the Warriors championship run just a year ago. Since his return to practice a little over a week ago, he has been under careful supervision of the Warriors coaching and training staff. "It would be different, something I haven't done since I'm been in the NBA," he said of the reserve role."I'm down for whatever helps the team and whatever we need."
As to questions surrounding Kerr and his ability to reintegrate Wiggins into the lineup as the playoffs begin, they may have already been answered.
