The Golden State Warriors' domination of the Dallas Mavericks is the product of a combined team effort. Stephen Curry and Jordan Poole might get all the headlines, but the entire team contributed heavily to their win. It's a true return to their “Strength in Numbers” roots from back in 2015, where they relied on their role players to win a ring.
One of these big contributors has been Andrew Wiggins, the former first-overall pick of the Timberwolves. The Warriors forward has been crucial on both sides of the ball. So when the team listed him as questionable for Game 3, fans were understandably worried.
Thankfully for Warriors fans, Steve Kerr reassured everyone about Andrew Wiggins' injury status. The coach told reporters that the team expects Wiggins to be ready for action in Game 3 despite his “questionable” status. (via Marc Stein)

Wiggins has been a very integral piece to the Warriors this year. The former first-overall pick is their primary defender on Luka Doncic, who has been on a tear this series. Wiggins has also been a solid release valve for their stars, as he's able to drain catch-and-shoot threes and create for himself when needed. Missing him for even just a game could've had drastic consequences for the team.
Luckily for the Warriors, Wiggins will be available for Game 3. That will be a crucial game for them, as they look to take a commanding 3-0 lead against the Mavs and inch one step closer to their goal of winning their first championship in three years.
