The Golden State Warriors are set to welcome back a familiar face for the upcoming season opener against the Sacramento Kings. Andrew Wiggins, who was acquired from the Minnesota Timberwolves in February, is expected to rejoin the Warriors for the start of the 2020-21 season.
Wiggins, a 6-foot-7 forward, was acquired by the Warriors in exchange for D’Angelo Russell and Jacob Evans. He averaged 19.7 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 33 games with the Timberwolves last season. He also shot 45.2 percent from the field and 33.9 percent from 3-point range.
The Warriors are hoping that Wiggins’ return will help bolster their offense, which struggled last season due to injuries and inconsistency. Wiggins is a versatile scorer who can create his own shot and knock down open looks from the perimeter. He also has the ability to get to the rim and finish at the rim with either hand.
The Warriors have high hopes for Wiggins this season and are looking forward to seeing what he can do in a Warriors uniform. He is expected to start alongside Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Kevon Looney in the season opener against the Kings.
Wiggins’ return will be a welcome sight for Warriors fans, who have been eagerly awaiting his arrival. He is a talented player who can help the team on both ends of the floor, and he should be able to make an immediate impact for the Warriors this season.
It will be interesting to see how Wiggins performs in his first game with the Warriors. He is a dynamic player who can make an impact on both ends of the court, and he should be able to help the Warriors get off to a strong start this season.
