Kerr: Wiggins won't play in Warriors' final two games

Andrew Wiggins will not return to the court in time to help the Warriors
try to secure a top-six seed in the Western Conference playoff race.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr joined 95.7 The Game's "Willard & Dibs" on
Wednesday and confirmed that Wiggins won't play Friday against the
Sacramento Kings or Sunday against the Portland Trail Blazers.

"[Andrew Wiggins] is not going to play in these final two games of the
regular season," Kerr said. "He’ll continue to work and ramp it up
pretty quickly."

Kerr also was asked about where Wiggins is physically after returning
from a 23-game absence.

"Full court 5-on-5. He looked good. ... He still has to stack a number
of days like this before he’s ready to go out and play in an NBA game,"
Kerr said. "Health-wise, we can’t put him in a bad spot."

Wiggins returned to the Warriors' facility on Tuesday, speaking to
reporters for the first time alongside general manager Bob Myers. When
it was reported that the veteran forward was nearing a return, many
assumed that Wiggins would suit up for one of Golden State's final games.

But Kerr put to rest any speculation about Wiggins' return before the
end of the regular season. That means, Wiggins' likely first game back
in the lineup comes either next week in a play-in game or during the
Warriors' first-round NBA playoff series.

The Warriors, currently the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference, finish
the regular season with road games in Sacramento and Portland. If Golden
State is able to punch its ticket to the playoffs, Wiggins' eventual
return will provide a big boost to a team that continues to search for
consistency away from Chase Center.
