Andrew Wiggins injury updates

Update: Everything has checked out for Wiggins, and he is good to go for Game 6.

Update: Wiggins is officially considered a game-time decision for this contest. He went through the team shootaround and will make a decision based on his pregame routine. Shooting the ball is going to be a challenge but this is more about pain management and Wiggins’ impact defensively will be key for the Warriors. If he is able to go, look for him to attack the basket more and avoid taking too many perimeter shots.

Wiggins is officially listed as questionable with what is being reported as a cartilage fracture in the ribs. This is a pain management issue for Wiggins, who will surely endure as much as he can to help his team stave off elimination.

If Wiggins is unable to suit up, Moses Moody and Donte DiVincenzo will be in line for more minutes in Golden State’s rotation. JaMychal Green and Jonathan Kuminga could also get some run, but Moody and DiVincenzo would be bigger beneficiaries.
