Is Andrew Wiggins Playing Tonight Vs Hornets? Warriors Release Injury Report for 2022 NBA All-Star

The Golden State Warriors took down the Memphis Grizzlies on Christmas Day. It was a great gift for all the Warriors fans after a terrible 1-5 road trip. Playing without Stephen Curry and Andrew Wiggins, the Warriors managed to silence the young Grizzlies and hand them a 123-109 loss.

Jordan Poole erupted for 32 points, Draymond Green contributed with a double-double, and the bench really came alive. It was an overall team victory. With the win, the Warriors are now 16-18 for the season.

In this eight-game homestand, the Dubs would hope to solve some of their problems and get the team back to a winning record. They had a good start with the win over the Grizzlies, but now they need to avenge their loss against the Hornets next.

Playing without Steph already, Wiggins not returning means that there is extra pressure on Poole and Klay. They’d have to step up and make sure that the Dubs do start losing games at home.
