What happened to Chris Paul and Andrew Wiggins?
According to coach Kerr, Wiggins will be missing his second straight game due to personal reasons.

New York Knicks injury report for Feb. 29
The New York Knicks have listed four players on their injury report. PG Jalen Brunson (neck) is questionable, while SF OG Anunoby (elbow), PF Julius Randle (shoulder) and C Mitchell Robinson are out.
What happened to Julius Randle and OG Anunoby?
During the fourth quarter of the Knicks-Miami matchup on Jan. 27th, Julius Randle had to leave the court due to an incident involving Heat's rookie Jaime Jaquez Jr.
While attempting a drive toward the basket, Randle experienced a severe fall, impacting his right side and leading to apparent distress. He swiftly proceeded to the locker room with support from the Knicks' medical personnel.
A league insider mentioned that Julius Randle's rehabilitation and workout regimen are progressing smoothly without complications.
Discussions around the possibility of surgery are largely precautionary measures being explored by Randle and the New York Knicks.
During a matchup against the Hornets on Jan. 29, after completing his pregame warmups, OG Anunoby concluded he wouldn't participate in the game.
His decision to sit out stemmed from swelling in his right elbow, the same elbow that has helped him achieve a 39% success rate from the three-point line since being traded from the Toronto Raptors on Dec. 31.
