Quotes
“I think so,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said on The TK Show when asked if the team could win the title without Andrew Wiggins who has been missing due to personal reasons.
“I really believe in this team, I think the fact that we traded for Gary [Payton II] and the way that JK [Jonathan Kuminga] has stepped up in Wiggs’ absence.
"It’s not as seamless as it was a year ago because we had a whole season together and we had all that rhythm and continuity.
