On Wednesday evening, the Golden State Warriors will host the New Orleans Pelicans at the Chase Center.

For the game, they could be without one of their best players, as Andrew Wiggins is questionable.

The former Kansas star missed Tuesday's game, so this would be his second straight out of the lineup (if he doesn't play).

Via ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk on Tuesday: "Steve Kerr says Warriors are confident Andrew Wiggins’ back issue isn’t a long-term injury. Wiggins is out tonight and questionable for tomorrow’s game against New Orleans."
