It’s been an odd year for the Golden State Warriors. After bringing home the Larry O’Brien trophy last season, they’ve struggled a lot, as their bench depth has failed them, and injuries have plagued their year. Even now, they are still without Andrew Wiggins.

However, Wiggins isn’t injured. He is currently away from the team due to personal reasons, with no timetable for his return. It’s an unfortunate situation, but when asked about Wiggins’ absence, Stephen Curry offered nothing but support to his teammate.

“Friend to friend, teammate to teammate. Just sending him support,” . “This is a tough situation in terms of him being away for so long but necessary. Life is bigger than basketball. 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.”

Wiggins has not appeared in a game for the Warriors since February 13 against the Washington Wizards, meaning he has now missed 11 games in a row. 

While providing an update on earlier this month, Warriors GM Bob Myers said that the plan isn’t for Wiggins to miss the entire season. That being said, they are not going to rush him back.

“I don’t think that’s what anybody is planning for,” Myers said when asked if Wiggins would miss a long portion of the rest of the season. “But we’ll leave that in its own place. That’s not the expectation. I think what you’re asking is – could he remain out for a long, long time? I don’t think that’s happening. I’m going to leave that alone. Hopefully, when he gets back, whatever words he would like to say on it, which I don’t think will be much since it’s his private life, he will do.”
