Andrew Wiggins has faced an incredibly difficult year with injuries causing him to miss a significant amount of games. However, his performance in the first four games of the Battle for Northern California has demonstrated that he is rising to the challenge for the Warriors. During the playoffs so far, Wiggins has been a key player for the team, performing in both an offensive and defensive capacity. He has been instrumental in the Warriors' defense against De'Aaron Fox and Malik Monk of the Sacramento Kings, limiting them to an average of 28.2 points per game across the series. Kerr comments that the Warriors need him to perform in both positions to win. Wiggins' teammates have also praised his performance with Jordan Poole stating that they need him to lead the way.
Wiggins' stats in the playoffs so far include an average of 15.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.7 assists. The Warriors will continue to rely on Wiggins in the remaining playoff games to help them advance to the next round, and his performance so far shows that he is a force to be reckoned with.
