Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins is nearing a return to the team and is expected to be back early this week, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski on Monday.
Wiggins, who has missed 22 consecutive games attending to a family matter, is expected to be back in the Bay Area as soon as the next 24 hours, sources told Wojnarowski.
It is unclear how much Wiggins will play in the team's final three regular season games, but his return would come with enough time to prepare for the play-in and playoffs beginning next week.
The Warriors are currently the sixth seed in the Western Conference. Golden State had been hopeful Wiggins would be able to return soon but were operating with no clear timeline for when he could be back. «We'd love to have him and hope that that does happen, because we want to be whole and I'm sure he wants to be a part of this,» Stephen Curry said last week. «But when he walks in the door, it'll be when it's the right time for him.
