Golden State Warriors guard Andrew Wiggins has returned to the team, according to The Athletic, after missing the past four games while tending to what was labeled a ‘serious family matter.’

Wiggins also missed the final 25 regular-season games last season to deal with a ‘family matter.’

There was no indication when Wiggins will return to the court, but he reportedly was at the team’s practice facility on Tuesday.

The one-time NBA All-Star and champion has not confirmed what family matter in particular he left the Warriors for, although The Athletic hinted at Wiggins’ father dealing with a medical emergency. 

‘We’re in a position where Wiggs is a private person and he’s asked to keep it private and we’re gonna honor that,’ Kerr said last week. ‘So it doesn’t help for me to sit here and try to explain any of that.’
