Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (ankle) won't suit up for Monday night's meeting with the Nets. The 28-year-old injured his left ankle during Saturday's overtime loss to the Atlanta Hawks, so he finished with two points and two blocks in 19 minutes. Fortunately, head coach Steve Kerr doesn't believe Wiggins will be out long, meaning there's a chance he could return versus Philadelphia on Wednesday. However, until Wiggins is back on the floor, Brandin Podziemski could benefit from a production standpoint.
Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (spine) will remain out for Monday's matchup with the Dallas Mavericks. Melton expressed optimism on Friday that he could return here, but he'll remain seated for a 12th game in a row with a lumbar spine stress response in his back. Since Melton worked out during Sunday's practice, per USA Today's Austin Krell, the 25-year-old lockdown defender might have a decent chance of suiting up versus the visiting Golden State Warriors on Wednesday. Kelly Oubre Jr. will continue to ride in the first unit alongside Tyrese Maxey in Philly's backcourt, and he's trending back up following a quiet string of play. Although he's struggling from three-point land across his last five appearances, Oubre is posting 19.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks per game while shooting 87.5% from the free-throw line.
Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (ankle) is considered doubtful to play Monday versus the Nets. Wiggins hurt his left ankle in a game against Atlanta at the weekend, and his chances of playing against Brooklyn appear slim. Brandin Podziemski started the second half instead of Wiggins versus the Hawks and posted a second consecutive double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds. The rookie out of Santa Clara appears set for his 12th career start without Wiggins on Monday. Podziemski has previously posted 11.1 points, 6.9 rebounds, 4.1 assists, and 1.5 steals as a member of the starting unit.
Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (foot) finished Saturday's overtime loss to Atlanta with two points and two blocks. Unfortunately, his night ended after 19 minutes because of a foot injury. Head coach Steve Kerr announced after the game that X-rays were negative. The 28-year-old also downplayed the injury, stating his foot "wasn't too bad," although the team will likely take things day-by-day, meaning his availability for Monday's game in Brooklyn is in jeopardy. If Wiggins can't suit up for that one, Brandin Podziemski, who had a double-double against the Hawks, would be the favorite to slide into the starting lineup.
Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) is targeting Monday's matchup against Dallas for his return. He's been out of the lineup since Jan. 12 and will miss an 11th consecutive game when Philadelphia faces Brooklyn on Saturday. Kelly Oubre Jr. has enjoyed a regular starter's role during Melton's absence, with Patrick Beverley also benefitting from the situation. Oubre Jr. has proven himself to be a productive player even in a bench role, so Melton's return shouldn't affect him much, but Beverley's chances for extra playing time will be hampered with a fully healthy backcourt.
