Warriors' Andrew Wiggins: Sitting out Sunday
Rotowire
Wiggins (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Jazz, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Wiggins was initially listed as questionable to play Sunday, but the Warriors will end up playing it safe with the veteran forward in a matchup versus a non-playoff-contending club. With Wiggins sidelined, the Warriors are likely to lean more heavily on Klay Thompson and Moses Moody, though the latter's role could be more muted if Jonathan Kuminga (knees) -- who is listed as questionable -- plays.

Warriors' Andrew Wiggins: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Wiggins (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jazz.
The Warriors could be very shorthanded Sunday. Stephen Curry is resting, and Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is questionable. If Wiggins is forced to miss a second straight contest, Moses Moody could see a healthy workload and would be on the streaming radar.

Warriors' Andrew Wiggins: Sitting out Friday
Rotowire
Wiggins won't play Friday against Dallas due to a sore left ankle, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Wiggins will miss the second leg of the Warriors' back-to-back set after suffering the injury during Thursday's 133-110 win over the Rockets. The fact that his injury is being classified as soreness rather than an ankle sprain bodes well for his chances of avoiding a lengthy absence, but Wiggins' status will still need to be monitored heading into the Warriors' next game Sunday versus Utah.

Warriors' Andrew Wiggins: Questionable for Friday
Rotowire
Wiggins (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against Dallas.
Wiggins tweaked his ankle during Thursday's win over the Rockets, forcing him to miss the fourth quarter. He's been diagnosed with ankle soreness, and it's unclear whether he'll be available for the second half of the back-to-back set.

Warriors' Andrew Wiggins: Tweaks ankle Thursday
Rotowire
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said Wiggins tweaked his ankle during Thursday's 133-110 win over Houston, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports. He finished with 10 points (3-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes.
Wiggins missed the entire fourth quarter after tweaking his ankle in the third quarter, but Kerr didn't disclose many details regarding the severity. For now, fantasy managers can consider Wiggins questionable to face Dallas on Friday. In addition to Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga's (knee) status for the second leg of the back-to-back set remains up in the air.

Rotowire
Wiggins finished with 23 points (8-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 104-100 win over the Mavericks.
The Warriors needed Wiggins to step his game up Tuesday as Stephen Curry was having an off night as a shooter, and the forward fully delivered, leading the Warriors in scoring and filling out the stat sheet in a tight win Tuesday. Wiggins is ending the season on a strong note and has reached the 20-point mark in three of his last four games.

Wiggins' eight dimes Friday matched a season high he set Jan. 12 against the Bulls, and he finished second on the team in assists to Chris Paul. Wiggins has now scored 20-plus points in each of his last two games and has averaged 17.5 points on 49.4 percent shooting (including 41.4 percent from three), 6.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.2 blocks over 29.5 minutes per game over his last six contests.

Warriors' Andrew Wiggins: Double-double in Wednesday's win
Rotowire
Wiggins totaled 22 points (9-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds, three assists and one block in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 137-116 victory over Memphis.
It's the third double-double of the season for Wiggins, one short of his career high. It was his best scoring effort since Jan. 30, when he hit for 23 points against the Sixers, and the 29-year-old forward may be getting his legs back under him again. Over the last six games, Wiggins is averaging 14.8 points, 6.5 boards, 1.8 threes and 1.3 assists in 27.8 minutes a contest while shooting 44.0 percent (11-for-25) from beyond the arc.

Warriors' Andrew Wiggins: Won't start against Spurs
Rotowire
Wiggins is not in the starting lineup to face the Spurs on Saturday, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Wiggins will come off the bench due to tactical reasons, as the Warriors will start Trayce Jackson-Davis at center to add some much-needed size near the rim. Wiggins could have a fair share of offensive touches alongside Klay Thompson in the second unit.

Warriors' Andrew Wiggins: Limited minutes in return
Rotowire
Wiggins (personal) played 14 minutes in Wednesday's 125-90 win over the Bucks, finishing with three points (1-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal.
Though he took back in his spot in the starting five from Moses Moody in his return from a four-game absence, Wiggins' playing time was capped, in part due to the blowout along with the fact that head coach Steve Kerr implemented an 11-man rotation on the night. Wiggins should get an uptick in minutes Thursday against the Bulls, but he and the Warriors' other key players sans Stephen Curry could have more limited playing-time ceilings while Kerr gravitates toward bigger rotations. Before his recent absence, Wiggins had posted averages of 13.5 points (on 50.4 percent shooting from the field), 4.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.7 three-pointers, 1.1 steals and 0.7 blocks in 27.3 minutes over his 11 appearances in February. That level of production, while solid if unspectacular, in addition to concerns about his playing-time outlook moving forward renders Wiggins more of a fringe option in 12-team category leagues.

Warriors' Andrew Wiggins: Taking leave of absence
Rotowire
Wiggins (personal), who has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Knicks, is taking a leave of absence from the Warriors and doesn't have a clear return date, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Wiggins will sit out a second consecutive game, and coach Steve Kerr said before Thursday's game that he isn't sure when the 29-year-old will be back with the team. Wiggins was unavailable for the final 25 games of the regular season last year while tending to a personal matter, but it's unclear how long his current leave of absence will last. Moses Moody handled an increased role for Golden State on Tuesday and should continue to see additional playing time in Wiggins' absence.
