Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry spearheaded his team to a stunning victory against the Milwaukee Bucks with a sublime performance on Saturday night. The Warriors are currently at sixth place in the Western Conference table with a record just over .500. Even though they have ended previous concerns of missing the playoffs for the most part, with the return of Chef Curry, the ‘mysterious absence’ of another Dubs player still remains a concern for the team. 

Andrew Wiggins has missed the past 11 games due to an undisclosed family matter. There has been no update so far on when he might make his comeback to the team. Coach Steve Kerr has been forthright with his support for Wiggins and has confirmed that the team will continue to give him space. Meanwhile, Stephen Curry has recently opened up on the concerning subject.

Curry opens up on Andrew Wiggins’ absence

Andrew Wiggins had been a pivotal member of the Dubs’ 2022 championship campaign. The 28-year-old guard averaged almost a double-double in the NBA Finals to aid Curry’s all-time great MVP performance. The Warriors will certainly require his assistance if they are to keep their championship hopes alive this season.

The absence of Wiggins from the team has certainly prompted rumblings among fans as the playoffs get closer. However, the Warriors squad has displayed unity in understanding the gravity of the matter for the former Minnesota Timberwolves star.

In fact, Stephen Curry has extended his support to Wiggins, pointing out that “life is bigger than basketball”. He admitted that it must be a taxing situation for Wiggins to be away from the team for such a prolonged period, but underscored that family matters are more important than basketball. “Friend to friend, teammate to teammate, sending him support. Tough situation being away for so long but necessary,” said Curry.

“Whatever him and his family are going through, that’s all that matters. I’m sure he’s missing the vibe and being with us, and we miss him too,” Curry added. His statements are emblematic of the fraternal bond and support that the Warriors share both on and off the court. It also highlights the significance of prioritizing family when necessary and receiving the support of teammates on the matter.

Regarding Wiggins’ return to the team, it remains to be seen when he will be back. However, the Warriors will stand by him and give him the time and space he needs to cope with his personal issues. In the interim, the team will focus on their upcoming games and continue to play with the same dauntless energy and determination.
