On Thursday, March 23, Beijing time, Warriors reporter Bill Simmons broke the news that Wiggins' playing time has been finalized and will return to the team at the end of this month to officially start training, and the playing time depends on Wiggins' own training status, after all, Wiggins has missed 16 consecutive games and has not touched basketball for nearly two months.
He also made it clear that Wiggins will most likely return to play at the end of the regular season, but not for too long, while warming up and watching the state to prepare for the championship.
And Warriors head coach Kerr also officially announced the matter in an interview.
Kerr said the Warriors have a lot of good news right now, which gives their defending champions more confidence.
First of all, he said that Payton Jr. and Wiggins will return soon, and that both of them are very important for the Warriors, and Kerr said that as long as they return healthy, it will be easy for them to defend the championship again.
Secondly, Dream Green has been negotiating a new contract with the team, Green's contract can execute the player option next season to get a salary of 27 million, but Dream Chase is old, he wants a long-term stable contract, so this season's poor condition is also troubled by this matter, and Warriors management said that it will meet Green's requirements, as long as he can play seriously. Green is back in shape, and staying strong defensively will boost the morale of the Warriors.
And with Paul George's injury yesterday, the Clippers, Suns, Grizzlies, Lakers, and core players of the Western giants are currently unable to play, which is undoubtedly good news for the Warriors, who are currently ranked sixth in the West, and the best result is to surpass the Clippers and finish fifth in the West to the playoffs in the regular season finale.
The Warriors' goal is also to go straight to the playoffs, allowing the main players and injured players to avoid the playoffs to get a better rest, and then make it all the way out of the West to defend their championship.
Team leaders Curry and Green have also expressed their views on the team's current state and Wiggins' truce.
Curry said: "I never thought we would lose 11 straight away from home, I tried my best but still lost, and I was a little disappointed in the team because we were the defending champions.
Wiggins is doing something more important than basketball, we all understand him and support him, life is bigger than basketball. We all look forward to his return, but we respect him.
Green said: "About Wiggins' absence, the rumors on the Internet really make me sick, he is not the kind of person you say, don't maliciously smear him, we all support him and understand what he is going through.
And with the main players of the big teams in the West happening, do you think the Warriors can easily rush out of the West?
