Reports: Andrew Wiggins set to return to Warriors this week.

Former All-Star swingman Andrew Wiggins, who has not played since Feb. 13, could suit up later this week.

The Golden State Warriors are expected to have swingman Andrew Wiggins back in the lineup, perhaps as soon as this week, per multiple reports.ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports Wiggins is nearing a return to the team this week after missing the past 21 games for a personal matter. Additionally, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports Wiggins plans to attend Golden State’s home game against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday (10 ET, NBA League Pass).

Last week, Warriors coach Steve Kerr told reporters he was hopeful Wiggins would return before the end of the season.Wiggins has been working out on his own every day. When and if he returns to the defending NBA champions, the training and medical staffs would need to evaluate his fitness and how much he might be able to contribute, and how soon.“Beyond that, once he’s back our training staff will be able to get with him and see where he is,” Kerr said last Tuesday.

Golden State (41-38) is the No. 6 seed and is just 1 1/2 games behind the No. 4-seeded Phoenix Suns with three games left to play. The 28-year-old Wiggins signed a four-year contract extension last October. He is averaging 17.1 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 37 games this season.A first-time All-Star last season, Wiggins reached the playoffs for just the second time in his eight-year career and often took on a tough defensive assignment in helping the Warriors capture their fourth championship in eight seasons.
