Wiggins, who missed the previous four games, is expected to rejoin team activities with the Warriors this week. His absence was due to attending to a serious family matter.
This isn't the first time Wiggins has faced personal challenges. Last season, he missed a two-month stretch for undisclosed personal reasons, later revealed by Charania to be related to his father, Mitchell Wiggins, experiencing a serious medical situation.
Despite a rough start to the current season that led to coach Steve Kerr benching him, Wiggins has found his rhythm in eight games he played since the February 8 trade deadline. Over this period, he has averaged 14.6 points and 4.1 rebounds.
