Warriors’ Andrew Wiggins Listed as Questionable for Game 1
Wiggins Suffered a Right Adductor Strain
Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins is listed as questionable for Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the Dallas Mavericks due to a right adductor strain, the team announced on Tuesday.
Injury Details
Wiggins suffered the injury during the Warriors’ Game 5 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies in the second round. He left the game in the third quarter and did not return.
An adductor strain is a muscle injury in the inner thigh. The severity of the strain will determine Wiggins’ availability for Game 1. If he is unable to play, Otto Porter Jr. or Jonathan Kuminga could start in his place.
Warriors’ Playoff Success Without Wiggins
The Warriors have a 3-1 record in the playoffs without Wiggins. They defeated the Denver Nuggets in the first round and the Grizzlies in the second round. However, Wiggins has been a key contributor to the Warriors’ success this season, averaging 17.2 points and 4.5 rebounds per game.
Game 1 Outlook
The Warriors will host the Mavericks in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals on Wednesday night. The Mavericks are the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference and are coming off a 4-2 series victory over the Phoenix Suns in the second round.
The Warriors are favored to win the series, but the Mavericks have shown that they can be a tough opponent. Game 1 will be a key test for both teams.
