Huge relief for the Warriors ahead of Game 3!

This Sunday evening, the Warriors have the opportunity to take an option on qualifying for the grand final, in the event of victory over the Mavericks. Shortly before this important game, the franchise has just received excellent news. For Dallas, on the other hand, it is less good.

The Warriors have the opportunity to hit hard this Sunday night with a win over the Mavericks, which would be the third in this series. At 3-0, Steve Kerr’s men will not qualify for the grand final, but they will have made a huge difference. No choice, Luka Doncic and company will have to respond, to try to save their season. The downside in all this is that the Dubs chain the good news.

Andrew Wiggins finally returned for the Warriors!

During the last game, Andrew Wiggins got a slight scare. A small ankle problem, but serious enough to compromise his participation in Game 3. In the end, Steve Kerr confirmed it to the media this Sunday evening, a few hours before the match: the Canadian will be ready to face Doncic and the rest of the roster. A huge relief, especially when you know the importance of the person concerned.

Andrew Wiggins went through shootaround this morning in Dallas. He is clear for Game 3, per Kerr.

Andrew Wiggins did the shootaround this morning in Dallas. He’s cleared to play Game 3, according to Kerr.

Wiggins will therefore hold his place, and when you know what he is capable of, this is not good news for the Mavericks. The Canadian continues to hurt in attack, but he makes a huge difference in defense, especially on Luka Doncic. His mere presence will therefore relieve the Dubs, who must already do without the services of Gary Payton II, absent until further notice.

However, nothing says that the former Wolves player will be 100%. In any case, he hopes that he will not be diminished with this ankle problem:

Here’s Andrew Wiggins on his ankle twist from the last game. Said he really felt it postgame before he went to bed. Feels better today. Doesn’t believe it’ll impact his lateral movement. pic.twitter.com/XmSCsPW2rD

Wiggins explains that he really hurt before going to bed after Game 2. He feels much better today, he doesn’t think it will affect his mobility.

Andrew Wiggins present is great news for the Warriors, who will try to widen the gap on the Mavericks in this Game 3. All the more reason not to miss this game, which promises to be explosive. Hopefully a bit of suspense to change.
