Andrew Wiggins’ final injury status for Warriors vs. Mavericks

The Warriors couldn’t have won four NBA championships over the past decade without star shooting guard Klay Thompson, but the five-time All-Star left his legacy in Golden State to join the Dallas Mavericks in his pursuit of a fifth title .

Thompson is set to return to Chase Center on Tuesday for the first time since leaving in free agency this offseason, trying to pull the 5-5 Mavericks past the blistering 8-2 Warriors in an NBA Cup Group Play match.

While all eyes are on Thompson upon his return, people seem to be ignoring the significance of this game. While not everyone cares about the NBA Cup, a battle between two of the Western Conference powerhouses could be a momentum changer for both teams, especially if the winner advances to the NBA Cup.

The Warriors will need all the help they can get against a Mavericks team led by Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving and former Dub Klay Thompson. Fortunately for Golden State, star forward Andrew Wiggins has been upgraded to active for Tuesday’s game.

Wiggins missed two games earlier this season but was impressive when healthy. Wiggins is averaging 15.5 points and 4.8 rebounds per game, shooting a career-high 41% from three-point range.

The Warriors have leaned on Wiggins as a starter on the wing, and the 11-year veteran has produced results.

Wiggins will play a crucial role in Tuesday’s game against the Mavericks, especially if he is assigned to defend Klay Thompson in his return match.
