Is Andrew Wiggins playing tonight against Dallas Mavericks? Latest on 1x All-Star’s availability for Emirates NBA Cup game (Nov. 12)

Andrew Wiggins is questionable to play when the Golden State Warriors host the Dallas Mavericks for their inaugural game of the 2024 Emirates NBA Cup on Tuesday. Fans should keep tracking Wiggins’ game status, as more information is likely to be made available after the morning shootaround or closer to the game.

Wiggins had a collision with the OKC Thunder’s Chet Holmgren on Sunday that resulted in a right iliac hip fracture for the latter. Holmgren is projected to be out for at least eight to 10 weeks. While Wiggins played the entire game, he was listed as questionable on the Warriors’ injury report on Monday.

The one-time All-Star previously missed two games this season with a similar injury. After a couple of down years, Andrew Wiggins was expected to step up offensively for the Warriors after they lost Klay Thompson in the offseason.

Wiggins has played in eight games so far, averaging 15.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists. He is shooting 44.2%, including a career-high 41.0% from beyond the arc.

Barring Wiggins, no other Golden State players were named in the injury report. Even if the former Rookie of the Year is unable to suit up, coach Steve Kerr should have enough help as his team has one of the deepest rosters this season.
