During Saturday’s game, Andrew Wiggins sustained an injury. The Golden State Warriors hosted Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night at Georgia’s State Farm Arena.
After overtime, the Hawks emerged victorious 141-134, even though two-time MVP Steph Curry scored 60 points. Nevertheless, the fact that 2022 NBA All-Star Andrew Wiggins had an injury and did not make a comeback raised more concerns than the defeat.
When head coach Steve Kerr met with the media following the game, questions concerning Wiggins were raised.
Andrew Wiggins was icing his foot postgame. Light limp. No walking boot or crutches in sight. He said he thought it wasn’t too bad but would have better feeling in the morning. https://t.co/mL4z6g2fkQ
