Andrew Wiggins Injury Update: Will He Play Tonight vs. Warriors?

Original Story

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins is listed as questionable for tonight's game against the Dallas Mavericks due to a right adductor strain. Wiggins suffered the injury in the third quarter of Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves and did not return.

Wiggins is averaging 17.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game this season. He is a key part of the Warriors' success, and his absence would be a big blow.

Latest Update

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Wiggins is expected to play tonight against the Mavericks. However, he will be on a minutes restriction.

This is good news for the Warriors, as Wiggins is one of their best players. However, they will need to be careful not to overwork him, as the adductor strain is a tricky injury that can easily be aggravated.

What to Expect Tonight

If Wiggins does play tonight, he will likely be on a minutes restriction. This means that he may not play his usual number of minutes, and he may not be as effective as he normally is.

The Warriors will need to rely on other players to step up in Wiggins' absence. Jordan Poole, Klay Thompson, and Stephen Curry will need to carry the scoring load, and Draymond Green will need to be a force on the defensive end.

The Mavericks are a tough opponent, but the Warriors should be able to win if Wiggins is able to play. However, if Wiggins is unable to play, the Warriors will be at a significant disadvantage.
