However, Stephen Curry and Andrew Wiggins <a href="https://ak-static.cms.nba.com/referee/injury/Injury-Report_2024-12-14_05PM.pdf" rel="noopener">are among</a> the Warriors listed on the NBA injury report.</p><p>Curry (right cervical facet inflammation) and Wiggins (right adductor tightness) are both listed as questionable. Gui Santos (G League) is also questionable, while De’Anthony Melton (left ACL surgery) and Moses Moody (knee) have been ruled out.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mavericks-news-dallas-injury-updates-warriors-game-naji-marshall">Mavericks have injury concerns</a> to monitor as well, but Curry and Wiggins’ final statuses will obviously be important for determining the outcome on Sunday.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-is-stephen-curry-draymond-green-playing-vs-nuggets-latest-nba-cup-injury-update">Curry has dealt with injury trouble</a> in the 2024-25 season. Still he has been able to play in 19 of the Warriors’ 24 games up to this point. The future Hall of Famer is averaging 22.8 points per game on 45.1 percent field goal and 41.3 percent three-point shooting up to this point. Curry is recording per game averages of 6.5 assists, 5.2 rebounds and 1.3 steals per outing as well.</p><p>Wiggins, meanwhile, has appeared in 20 games so far in the 2024-25 campaign.

Wiggins is shooting 46 percent from the field and 42.7 percent on his three-point attempts.</p><p>The Warriors defeated the Mavericks in their first meeting this year. Golden State earned a 120-117 victory over Dallas. The game represented Klay Thompson’s return to Golden State after joining the Mavs during the offseason.

A recent 114-106 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves has moved the Warriors to 14-9 on the season ahead of a very important NBA Cup quarterfinals matchup with a familiar foe — The Houston Rockets. With a trip to Las Vegas on the line, the Warriors will need everyone healthy for this battle, yet Andrew Wiggins finds himself on the injury report.</p><p>Over the last few games, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-andrew-wiggins-exits-with-ankle-injury-vs-timberwolves">Wiggins has been dealing with an ankle issue</a>. Although he played 19 minutes in the team’s 107-90 loss to the Timberwolves on Nov. 6, Wiggins did not play in the team’s recent win. This has cast a level of doubt on the Warriors forward’s availability for Wednesday.</p><p>As a result of landing on the injury report once again, Warriors fans are left asking the question, “Is Andrew Wiggins playing in the NBA Cup on Wednesday against the Rockets?”</p><h2><b>Andrew Wiggins latest injury update vs. Rockets</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Andrew-Wiggins-22-dribbles-against-the-Phoenix-Suns.jpg"><figcaption>Joe Camporeale-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>In addition to dealing with a recent ankle injury, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-andrew-wiggins-playing-pelicans-latest-injury-update">Wiggins has also battled through some back problems</a> during the early portion of the 2024-25 season. This latest ankle ailment, which is being labeled by the Warriors as a right ankle impingement, has Wiggins <a href="https://ak-static.cms.nba.com/referee/injury/Injury-Report_2024-12-11_11AM.pdf" rel="noopener">questionable to play</a> in Wednesday night’s NBA Cup quarterfinal game against Houston.</p><p>On Wednesday morning, Anthony Slater of The Athletic stated on 95.7 The Game in San Francisco that Wiggins’ status <a href="https://x.com/957thegame/status/1866885890611851535" rel="noopener">won’t be determined</a> until close to 60 minutes before tip-off.</p><p>In an NBA injury report Wednesday night, Wiggins has been <a href="https://ak-static.cms.nba.com/referee/injury/Injury-Report_2024-12-11_08PM.pdf" rel="noopener">listed out</a> for the Rockets game, which means he will be missing his second game in a row.</p><p>While he has been forced to miss some time due to injuries, Wiggins has played in a total of 20 games this season for Golden State, all of which he started. The former first-overall pick is averaging 17.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.0 steals per game this season while shooting 46.0 percent from the floor and 42.7 percent from three-point range.</p><p>Over his last 10 games, Wiggins is averaging 19.8 points and 4.5 rebounds per game while shooting 47.4 percent from three-point range. His best performance of the season came during this span of games, as Wiggins dropped a season-high 30 points with three made triples in an NBA Cup group stage victory over the New Orleans Pelicans.</p><p>Next to Stephen Curry, Wiggins has proven to be capable of taking on No. 2 scoring opportunities. Finding consistent offensive play next to Curry has been Golden State’s biggest challenge, which is why Wiggins’ availability and health is so vital.</p><p>Due to Moses Moody already being ruled out for this game due to a knee injury, the Warriors could turn to Jonathan Kuminga, Kyle Anderson, and Lindy Waters III to fill Wiggins’ minutes.</p><p>So, when it comes to the question of, “Is Andrew Wiggins playing in Wednesday night’s NBA Cup thriller against the Rockets, the answer is no.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Both players are the only two players on the team’s injury report.</p><p>Wiggins has been dealing with an ankle injury and left the game on Friday during the third quarter. Moody didn’t play after halftime due to knee soreness.</p><p>Also on the injury front, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-are-stephen-curry-draymond-green-playing-vs-timberwolves">Warriors did welcome back both Draymond Green and Stephen Curry</a> to the lineup. Green had missed two straight games due to a calf injury while Curry has been dealing with knee issues for most of this season.</p><p>Although Green made his return to the lineup, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-make-shocking-draymond-green-jonathan-kuminga-change">Warriors opted to make a change with Jonathan Kuminga</a> remaining in the starting lineup as Green eases his way back.</p><h2><b>Warriors’ start to 2024-25 season</b></h2><p>Even though the Warriors lost Klay Thompson via free agency this past offseason, they have still been a fairly solid team.

They did not make the playoffs last year after losing to the Sacramento Kings in the play-in.</p><p>Stephen Curry has been battling knee issues this season, but is still playing at an elite level. He’s been averaging 22.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.3 steals with splits of 45 percent shooting from the field, 41.4 percent shooting from the three-point line and a league-leading 95.4 percent shooting from the free-throws line.</p><p>A big part of the Warriors pretty solid start to the year has been the continued development of pair of young players in Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody. Warriors fans have been clamoring for the duo to get more minutes for the past couple of years, and they’ve solidified their spot on the team.</p><p>Kuminga recently went off for a career-high 33 points in a big win against the Houston Rockets when both Curry and Draymond Green were sidelined.

Wiggins, as per Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN, <a href="https://x.com/NotoriousOHM/status/1865256962520445243" rel="noopener">will not be returning to tonight’s contest</a>, and Moses Moody will be joining him in his early trip to the locker room after dealing with some knee soreness of his own.</p><p>Wiggins was listed as <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-is-andrew-wiggins-playing-rockets-latest-injury-update">questionable heading into the Warriors’</a> two most recent contests; the 29-year-old forward decided to tough it out last night in their gutsy win over the Houston Rockets, but he appears to have aggravated his ankle injury to the point where the Dubs decided that it was best for him not to return to play.</p><p>Before exiting, Wiggins put up 11 points on 3-8 shooting from the field as the Warriors currently trail the Timberwolves in the third quarter. In his stead, the Warriors will be relying on the likes of Gary Payton II, Buddy Hield, Lindy Waters III, and even Pat Spencer to fill in some minutes on the wing.</p><p>Head coach Steve Kerr admitted that the 29-year-old forward was dealing with a “painful” ankle issue and that if it weren’t for the Warriors’ other injury concerns, Wiggins may not have suited up in their win over the Rockets. This revelation made it all the more surprising that Wiggins decided to suit up on the second night of a back-to-back, as he is taking on the role of a hero to try and get the team back to their sterling form earlier in the season.</p><p>It’s an even more difficult pill to swallow for the Warriors that someone they could have relied on to fill Wiggins’ role, Moody, also had to exit the game.</p><h2><b>Warriors get off to slow start vs. Timberwolves</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Andrew-Wiggins-22-dribbles-against-the-Phoenix-Suns.jpg"><figcaption>© Joe Camporeale-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Warriors’ offense appears to be in the mud over the past two games, although they have gone up against teams with incredible defenders in the Rockets and Timberwolves. On Friday night, it has been a struggle for the Dubs to score the basketball, and without Andrew Wiggins, it will be even more difficult for them to generate points.</p><p>Jonathan Kuminga has slowed down considerably from his career game against the Rockets last night, although the good news is that Stephen Curry is back and healthy, perhaps to continue the Warriors’ winning ways against another tough Western Conference opponent.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

But in the two seasons that followed, Wiggins’ stock fell off a cliff. Not only did he deal with injuries and some personal matters, forcing him to miss a lot of games, he was also ineffective for most of that time. But the start of the 2024-25 season has shown that there may be <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-steve-kerr-strong-andrew-wiggins-admission-fire-up-dubs-fans">plenty of gas left in Wiggins’ tank</a>.</p><p>Entering the Warriors’ Wednesday night clash against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Wiggins appears to be back in form — averaging 17.5 points per contest on 48/41/77 shooting splits — which is good for a true shooting percentage of 60.3, which would be a career-best.</p><p>Given all the struggles Wiggins has had to endure to get to this point, the Warriors, particularly Steve Kerr, know that this resurgence from the 29-year-old forward is <a href="https://x.com/957thegame/status/1861579995229077741" rel="noopener">something to celebrate</a>.</p><p>“This is the guy who helped us win a championship two years ago. It’s been wonderful to see him in a really good place, mentally and physically playing at a high level, and enjoying himself. This is the Wiggs we all know and love,” Kerr said, via Willard &amp; Dibs and 95.7 The Game.</p><p>Indeed, this is the version of Wiggins that the Warriors desperately need if they were to return to championship contention. Last season, in particular, was a nightmare for Wiggins, as the Dubs saw it fit to bring him off the bench for 12 games due to how inefficient he was being on the offensive end of the floor.</p><p>But Wiggins has been, without a shadow of a doubt, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-andrew-wiggins-early-season-claim-second-scorer-behind-steph-curry">much better for the Warriors</a> this season, as it looks as though he has conquered whatever it is that has been bothering him over the past two seasons.</p><h2><b>Andrew Wiggins’ resurgence has led to Warriors’ revival</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Warriors-forward-Andrew-Wiggins-22-shoots.jpg"></figure><p>Andrew Wiggins has been phenomenal on both ends of the floor for the Warriors, and he has been one of the many reasons behind the Dubs’ surge atop the Western Conference standings. He has given them a legitimate two-way wing who can create his own shot, and it is apparent in his body language that his joy for the game appears to be back in a big way.</p><p>The only worry now is that some negative regression may be coming for Wiggins.

One of the teams who will begin their pool play games is the Golden State Warriors, who are off to a much faster start than many would’ve imagined. Stephen Curry and Co. currently reside at the top of the Western Conference standings, and they could utilize a huge win over the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night to further cement their status as one of the best teams in the league. However, Andrew Wiggins’ status for the start of the NBA Cup is in doubt.</p><p>Wiggins, who <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-andrew-wiggins-likely-to-return-as-steph-curry-remains-sidelined">missed two games earlier this season due to a back injury</a>, is once again on the injury report ahead of Tuesday’s NBA Cup matchup with Dallas. This game in San Francisco is not only important because it is both teams first tournament game, but it is also <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-golden-state-honor-klay-thompson-return-special-giveaway">Klay Thompson’s first game back in front of Warriors fans</a> since he departed in the offseason. On top of all of this, Wiggins’ status is unknown. The concern surrounding this injury has sparked the question: Is Andrew Wiggins playing against the Mavs?</p><h2><b>Andrew Wiggins injury status vs. Mavericks</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Andrew-Wiggins.jpg"><figcaption>Rob Gray-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Only one player finds themselves on the <a href="https://ak-static.cms.nba.com/referee/injury/Injury-Report_2024-11-12_12PM.pdf" rel="noopener">Warriors’ injury report</a> ahead of Tuesday night’s game against the Mavericks, and that is Wiggins. Throughout the early portion of the season, Wiggins has been dealing with a lower back strain. This is the injury he finds himself on Tuesday’s injury report with, and he is questionable to play against Dallas as a result.</p><p>Since missing two games against the New Orleans Pelicans to conclude October, Wiggins has averaged 13.0 points and 3.6 rebounds per game while shooting 36.4 percent from the floor and only 25.0 percent from three-point range over his last five games. It is clear to see that Wiggins has been somewhat limited, which is why he finds himself back on the injury report with this back issue.</p><p>The Warriors could realistically look to give Wiggins some extra time off, regardless if this is a NBA Cup game or not, simply <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-steve-kerr-strong-andrew-wiggins-admission-fire-up-dubs-fans">because of how valuable his presence and health are</a> to this team moving forward. Without Wiggins, the Warriors probably wouldn’t have been able to go on their championship run and defeat the Boston Celtics in 2022. That is why head coach Steve Kerr and this entire organization are going to be cautious when it comes to Wiggins’ availability and minutes as he continues to battle through this back issue.</p><p>In the event that Wiggins is forced to miss Tuesday’s contest, Kyle Anderson, Moses Moody, and Jonathan Kuminga would be the primary beneficiaries in terms of seeing more minutes. Kuminga would likely start if Wiggins does not play against the Mavericks.</p><p>So, when it comes to the question of if Wiggins is going to be playing in Tuesday night’s game, the Warriors will provide further details on his official status during pregame warmups.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Reasons for hope range from Stephen Curry’s continued brilliance, to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-draymond-green-locked-in-on-defensive-player-of-the-year-award">Draymond Green’s Defensive Player of the Year aspirations</a>, to a young crop of talent that could soon be ready to pop. And then there’s Andrew Wiggins.</p><p>Andrew Wiggins may be a bit of a sore spot for Warriors fans, but there’s no way around the fact that in a very small sample size this season, the 11-year veteran looks like the guy he was the last time the Dubs had serious championship aspirations. In four games, Wiggins is averaging 18.5 points and 5.8 rebounds per game. He’s shooting 51 percent from the field and a scalding hot 57 percent on six three-pointers per game.</p><p>Shooting splits like these won’t last, but at the very least, it’s a sign that Andrew Wiggins has brushed off two difficult years — both on and off the court — and is <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/42117809/andrew-wiggins-ready-all-star-again" rel="noopener">ready for a significant bounce-back</a> in the 2024-25 season.</p><p>“I think he’s in a place where he knows the last couple years have been tough for a lot of reasons,” Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said, per Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com. “I think he’s primed to get back to where he was a couple years ago. It looks like he’s primed to have a hell of a season.”</p><p>Wiggins missed the final 25 games of the 2022-23 season, and then saw his play suffer throughout the 2023-24 campaign as he was attempting to balance life in the NBA with caring for his ailing father, former NBA player Mitchell Wiggins, who fell ill in early 2023. Throughout Wiggins’ absence, the Warriors remained tight-lipped about this private personal matter, respecting Wiggins, who Kerr called, “a very private person.”</p><p>It wasn’t until after Mitchell Wiggins passed away in July of this year that it became clear that his son had understandably been having a hard time with one of the most heart-wrenching challenges one needs to go through in this experience we call life. Fortunately for Andrew Wiggins, he plays for a coach in Steve Kerr who not only <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-steve-kerr-admits-first-time-seeing-compiled-footage-of-late-father-on-the-last-dance">tragically lost his father when he was in college</a>, but also understands that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-furious-steve-kerr-delivers-desperate-plea-after-tragic-texas-shooting">human events should always take precedent over what’s happening on the hardwood</a>.</p><p>“It’s been a tough two-year stretch. He got off to such an amazing start in 2022, he was an All-Star the year before, a champion and then when his dad got sick it really derailed him,” Kerr said. “I think it’s important to let him know that we care about him and then give him his space. He’s a guy who needed his space.”</p><h2><b>Andrew Wiggins could be the key to unlock Warriors championship chase </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Andrew-Wiggins-throws-down-a-dunk-against-the-Clippers.jpg?w=1024"><figcaption>© D. Ross Cameron-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Wiggins took his time and space, and now he’s back with the Warriors with hopes that a summer of hard work with Golden State’s coaching staff will allow him to return where he was back in June 2022.</p><p>History will paint the 2022 NBA Finals as the final crowning achievement of the Warriors Big Three of Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson, and in some regard, it was. But it was Andrew Wiggins who was Golden State’s second-best player in that Finals series. Wiggins made life hell for Jayson Tatum, who shot just 37 percent in six Finals games. On the other end of the floor, Wiggs was Golden State’s second leading scorer and their leading rebounder.</p><p>While it may seem far-fetched to think that an Andrew Wiggins leap — or rather, a return to peak form — could be coming, it’s important to remember that he’s still only 29 years old and will be given every opportunity to succeed in Golden State. Their championship hopes may depend on it.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Wiggins getting back onto the court would be a welcome sign for Golden State, who already ruled Stephen Curry out with his persistent peroneal strain.</p><p>Without Wiggins, the Warriors still picked up two wins over the New Orleans Pelicans at home in consecutive days. Buddy Hield led the team in scoring in both games, as he has now done in four of their first five contests. Wiggins led Golden State with 29 points against the Los Angeles Clippers on Oct. 27 in the only game Hield did not top them in scoring.</p><p>Hield’s 21.2 points per game through the first five outings leads the Warriors overall. Wiggins is second with 19.7 points per contest, and Curry is third at 18.3. Wiggins and Curry have both only played in three games thus far.</p><p>Historically, Wiggins has been one of Golden State’s most consistent offensive weapons over the past six seasons. The Minnesota Timberwolves traded the 29-year-old to the Warriors during the 2019-2020 season in exchange for D’Angelo Russell. The Warriors desired Wiggins’ slashing play style to complement the shooting of Curry and Klay Thompson at the time of the deal.</p><p>In the absence of Wiggins and Curry, the Warriors have leaned on Brandin Podziemski and Moses Moody to fill their roles in the starting lineup. Despite his superb start to the year, Hield has started just one game and is primarily leading Steve Kerr’s second unit, making him one of the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-buddy-hield-makes-nba-history-early-6moy-year-case-in-blowout-win-over-jazz">early leaders for the Sixth Man of the Year award</a>.</p><p>Even without Curry, the Warriors’ short-term outlook appears brighter with Wiggins listed as probable. He has yet to be confirmed to play against the Rockets but is likelier than not to do so.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Wiggins was initially listed as questionable to play in both games against New Orleans with Steve Kerr stressing to reporters that his back strain was of the minor variety.</p><h2><b>What does Andrew Wiggins’ likely return mean for shorthanded Warriors?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Andrew-Wiggins-is-back-with-the-Warriors-for-preseason.jpg"><figcaption>© Cary Edmondson-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Wiggins figures to be back in the starting lineup at Toyota Center if he’s indeed cleared to play.</p><p>The 29-year-old lived up to widespread promise preached by Golden State’s players and coaches throughout the summer and into the preseason across the first three games of 2024-25, looking a lot like the two-way impact player who proved so pivotal on the Warriors’ underdog run to winning the Larry O’Brien Trophy in 2022.</p><p>Though the Dubs fell to the Los Angeles Clippers in his most recent outing, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-andrew-wiggins-early-season-claim-second-scorer-behind-steph-curry">Wiggins ably picked up the offensive slack</a> left by Curry’s twisted ankle in the fourth quarter, nearly leading them to a comeback victory with the type of alpha-dog shot-making that harkened back to his early days with the Minnesota Timberwolves.</p><p>The three-level scoring chops he’s always had at his best and put to game-changing use versus the Clippers loom especially large facing a team like Houston, too.</p><p>The Rockets are loaded with quality wing defenders and routinely switch across four positions, sometimes even letting franchise center Alperen Sengun check guards and wings on the perimeter.</p><p>Golden State’s motion-heavy, off-ball screening offensive attack can sometimes get bogged down against switching defenses that flatten the floor and prioritize keeping the ball in front, especially absent the singular threat Curry provides from all over the floor.</p><p>The Warriors certainly won’t bog down into relying solely on isolation basketball in Houston. But they’ll undoubtedly be goaded into <i>some </i>one-on-one play by Ime Udoka’s team, and no one on Golden State’s exceptionally deep, odd-ball roster has the blend of physical tools and variable scoring skill to fare better under that duress than Wiggins.</p><p>Expect him to start alongside Brandin Podziemski, Draymond Green and Trayce Jackson-Davis on Saturday, with Kerr deciding between Lindy Waters III, Moses Moody, and Buddy Hield for the Dubs’ fifth spot on the floor for tipoff.</p><p>Still patiently waiting for Curry’s return, the Warriors may need Wiggins to pick up right where he left off against Los Angeles to begin their road trip with a win over a young, energetic team that sports one of basketball’s toughest defenses.</p><p>Golden State and Houston are set to face off at 5:00 p.m. (PT) from Toyota Center.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Star guard Stephen Curry was just ruled out due to injury<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sources-stephen-curry-miss-several-warriors-games-ankle-injury">Stephen Curry was just ruled out due to injury</a> for at least the next two games. And now Andrew Wiggins <a href="https://x.com/957thegame/status/1851052495738712551?s=46&amp;t=vnLDgTn4yNZudl1UzUUjJA" rel="noopener">will likely be out</a> due to injury for the Warriors’ game against the New Orleans Pelicans as per Willard and Dibs of 95.7 The Game.</p><p>Andrew Wiggins suffered a back injury and Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said he’ll likely be out. He’s listed on the Warriors’ injury report as questionable.</p><p>Wiggins is coming off his best game of the season against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. He finished with 29 points, three rebounds and one blocked shot in 29 minutes of play. He shot 11-of-15 from the field and 5-of-8 from the three-point line.</p><p>With the departure of Klay Thompson in free agency, Wiggins has been tabbed as a player the Warriors need to step up his production. So far, he’s responded well. The 11-year veteran has been averaging 19.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 blocked shots with splits of 55 percent shooting from the field, 57.9 percent shooting from the three-point line and 80 percent shooting from the free-throw line.</p><p>His points, rebounds, shooting percentage and three-point percentage are all Warriors’ career-highs.</p><h2>Warriors depth going to be tested</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Buddy-Hield.jpg"><figcaption>Candice Ward-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>In addition to Curry and Wiggins being out, the Warriors will also be <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-deanthony-melton-joins-stephen-curry-on-dubs-injury-list">without reserve guard De’Anthony Melton due to injury</a>. That’s three key players the team will have sidelined. The Warriors depth is going to have to come through these next couple of games.</p><p>In Melton’s case, he also suffered a back injury and will miss at least the next two games. He will be reevaluated on Friday. During the Warriors’ first three games of the season, Melton has been averaging 6.3 points, 1.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists.</p><p>Although the Warriors lost Klay Thompson in the offseason, they replaced him with a trio of quality veterans in Melton, Kyle Anderson and Buddy Hield.</p><p>Hield in particular has fit in well with the Warriors rotation so far. He’s been averaging 19.0 points, 5,0 rebounds and 3.0 assists with splits of 52.5 percent shooting from the field, 52 percent shooting from the three-point line and 100 percent shooting from the free-throw line.</p><p>The Warriors have a back to back for the next two games, both at home against the Pelicans.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
