SALT LAKE CITY — Andrew Wiggins will miss at least two more games,
including Wednesday night’s matchup against the Utah Jazz, with a
strained left adductor.

Wiggins will be reevaluated Monday after injuring a muscle in his thigh,
coach Steve Kerr said. That means Wiggins will also be shelved for
Saturday’s 2022 NBA Finals rematch against the Boston Celtics and miss a
total of at least three games.

Meanwhile, Kerr remains “hopeful” that Stephen Curry and Draymond Green
will be able to play Saturday after the two stayed back in the Bay for
this current one-game road trip to nurse injuries. Curry has a sore
right ankle while Green is out with left hip tightness.

Curry first injured his ankle in the second half of the Warriors’ win
over the Houston Rockets on Saturday. He played 37 minutes in Golden
State’s loss to the Indiana Pacers Monday in what was an off night for
the superstar.

“The three games in four nights caught up to him,” Kerr said. “He’s 34
now, he’s not 24, so it takes a little longer to recover from injury or
nicks and bruises and that kind of stuff. It was an easy decision
because otherwise we’re just chasing our tail if he’s hampered by an
injury and then we just keep playing him night after night, it’s not
going to end well. So we’re going to have to be proactive all year in
cases like this.”

Wednesday marks the third game Curry hasn’t played in this season. He’s
averaging exactly 30 points per game, fourth-best in the NBA, with a
career-high 6.6 rebounds and seven assists. He also has a league-leading
117 3-pointers so far this season, 24 more than the next-closest player
(Portland’s Anfernee Simonns has 93.)

The Warriors enter Wednesday’s game with a 13-12 record, and they are
10th in the Western Conference standings.

Golden State will host the Celtics Saturday at Chase Center before
hitting the road, where the reigning champs will play six games in nine
days.
