Golden State Warriors small forward Andrew Wiggins could miss his first game with the Dubs on Tuesday against the Sacramento Kings.
Wiggins didn't practice on Monday because of a leg contusion, and the Warriors are now listing him as questionable to face the Kings.

The Warriors are 12-45 on the season. They have the worst record in the NBA.
Andrew Wiggins is averaging 19.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists in five games with the Warriors. He's shooting 49.3 percent from the field, 47.8 percent from beyond the arc and 69.6 percent from the free-throw line.
There's no point for the Warriors to play Wiggins on Tuesday if he's hurt. After all, the team is already going to miss the playoffs this season and losing Wiggins to a serious injury would only make this campaign even more unforgettable for Golden State.
All-Star shooting guard Klay Thompson won't play at all this 2019-20 campaign, while two-time MVP Stephen Curry is said to be targeting a March return to the court. The Warriors would love to see Curry, Wiggins and Draymond Green develop some chemistry this season heading into the summer.
Curry called Wiggins a walking 20 points over the weekend. The Dubs want to see the former No. 1 overall pick play high level defense for 48 minutes, while also being an effective third option on offense behind Curry and Thompson once next season rolls around.
