Steve Kerr Announces Latest On Andrew Wiggins Before Pelicans-Warriors Game

Steve Kerr spoke about Andrew Wiggins before the Golden State Warriors hosted the New Orleans Pelicans.

On Tuesday evening, the Golden State Warriors are hosting the New Orleans Pelicans at the Chase Center in San Francisco, California.  

Andrew Wiggins has been ruled out for his 20th straight game due to personal reasons.

Before tip-off, head coach Steve Kerr met with the media and shared the latest update about Wiggins. 

Via Anthony Slater of The Athletic: "Still no timetable update from Steve Kerr on Andrew Wiggins. Did say he’s been working out on a daily basis, but team wouldn’t know about his game conditioning until he got back in building. 20th straight missed game tonight."

Prior to his extended absence from the team, Wiggins had been in the middle of another productive season. 

He has averages of 17.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.2 steals per contest in 37 games. 

The former Kansas star is also shooting 47.3% from the field and 39.6% from the three-point range. 

Last year, he was a big reason why the Warriors were able to win their fourth NBA Championship in the previous eight seasons.
