NBA All-Star Andrew Wiggins missed the Golden State Warriors game against the Washington Wizards on Tuesday, but it now appears the 25-year-old will be away from the team for an extended period of time. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr confirmed that Wiggins will be away from the court to tend to a "personal matter," and there is no timetable for his return to the team. Kerr made it clear that the team will respect Wiggins' privacy, and said he will be given as much time as he needs. At one point in the season, Wiggins was removed from the starting lineup, but he bounced back and has helped the Warriors win eight of their past ten games. It remains unclear whether five-time All-Star Klay Thompson will transition back into the starting lineup while Wiggins is away.
