The Warriors may have come up short in Game 1 against the Kings, but they have a positive outlook moving forward thanks to the return of Andrew Wiggins.
After missing nearly two months of action while tending to a family matter, Wiggins returned to the team in early April and made his return to the floor in Game 1 of Golden State's playoff series with Sacramento.
Wiggins, who came off the bench for the first time in his NBA career, finished with 17 points, four blocks and three rebounds but shot just 1 of 8 from beyond the arc, including the potential go-ahead triple during the game's final moments. Still, Wiggins' presence is a major development for Golden State, which looks to defend its title despite entering the playoffs as the West's sixth seed.
Will Wiggins be back in action when the two teams meet in Game 2? Here is the latest on Wiggins' status as the Warriors look to even the series.
