The Golden State Warriors will face the Washington Wizards tonight, but they will be missing one key player: Andrew Wiggins.
Wiggins was forced to sit out tonight’s game against the Wizards due to illness. Brandin Podziemski, on the other hand, is playing tonight despite being rated as questionable.
As of now, the Warriors will be without Draymond Green, Gary Payton II, and Andrew Wiggins when they face the Washington Wizards. While there appears to be a significant shortfall, the Wizards are still a team with a 5-22 record that the Warriors should not be having trouble with, especially if Steph Curry is playing. Furthermore, the Warriors have the advantage in rest tonight versus the Wizards.
Jordan Poole was seen hugging every member of the Warriors roster before the game, from Steph Curry to Gary Payton II to Kevon Looney. Tonight marks Poole’s return to the Bay Area, and he’ll most certainly be honored with a video tribute for his role in the team’s NBA Championship victory. The added emotions may inspire Poole and his teammates to play even harder, but the Warriors still have the talent to win. If the Warriors lose tonight’s game, they won’t have many excuses.
Tonight at 10:00 p.m. EST, the Golden State Warriors take on the Washington Wizards.
