Andrew Wiggins Likely To Remain Starter Next Season
Andrew Wiggins is expected to remain the starting small forward next season, according to Anthony Slater. D'Angelo Russell didn't last too long in Golden State, but Wiggins should stay a little longer. However, the organization would likely trade Wiggins in any blockbuster trades because his contract could be used for matching purposes. Wiggins is owed an average of $29 million over the next three seasons. The Warriors would likely have to trade Wiggins in order to acquire another star player. However, until that happens, it sounds like Wiggins is going to be a starter in Golden State. He was averaging 19.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.4 blocks and 1.7 triples through 12 games with the Warriors this season.

Andrew Wiggins Tagged As Questionable For Wednesday
Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) is considered questionable for Wednesday's tilt against the Chicago Bulls. Wiggins appears to be nearing his return, but he may still be forced to sit out a seventh consecutive game due to right hamstring tendinopathy. Pelle Larsson has become a regular starter during Wiggins' absence, although his performances tend to vary significantly. His average numbers for the last six games stand at 10.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 2.2 steals. Duncan Robinson has also taken on a larger role recently and could be in for a big night against a team that allows the fourth-most three-point attempts in the league.

Andrew Wiggins Remains Sidelined Monday
Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) will be out for a sixth consecutive game on Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers. There was a chance Wiggins would return on Monday when the team initially listed him as questionable on the injury report. However, he has now been ruled out for the contest. Wiggins' next chance to return will be on Wednesday night against the Chicago Bulls. Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra mentioned that Wiggins is "very close" to returning, so we should see him before the regular season draws to a close. Pelle Larsson has rolled as a starter during Wiggins' absence, with Duncan Robinson and Kyle Anderson receiving more minutes off the bench.
