Good news for the Golden State Warriors – Steph Curry is cleared to play contact basketball. Bad news, there isn’t any timeline for his return yet and this team is stuck with Andrew Wiggins leading them in scoring. The Warriors are bottom-dwelling in the NBA Western Conference with a record of 12-44 and at home, they only won seven out of 20 games. They are now on a five-game skid and Wiggins is just getting acquainted with Steve Kerr’s offense. Draymond Green is still the leader for this team and he has been underwhelming with 8.2 points, 6.3 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game.
