The Golden State Warriors have enlisted short forward Andrew Wiggins with a left knee pain for their presidential matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday. The Warriors are also missing rookie Jonathan Kuminga, who has a strained patella tendon, so head coach Steve Kerr will have to dig deeper into the depths of his wing. This could lead to an extended opportunity for rookie Moses Moody.

Wiggins has been one of the most durable players in the NBA throughout his career, missing just one game in his first four professional seasons. However, despite playing in 71 of the Warriors’ 72 games last season, Wiggins suffered minor knee problems throughout the year. With a full 82-game schedule ahead, Golden State has no reason to pursue the former’s first overall pick in the preseason.

During his career, Wiggins averaged 35.4 minutes, 19.5 points, and 4.4 rebounds per game in 525 games between the Warriors and the Minnesota Timberwolves. During his tenure with the Warriors, he has averaged 18.7 points per game and 4.8 rebounds on shooting .474/.375/.706.
