This is huge news, as it means that Wiggins will now be able to play home games for the Warriors this season. Had he continued to be against it, he would not have been allowed to and missed all 41 games at the Chase Center due to San Francisco's rules.

Wiggin's absence would have been rough for the Warriors, as he is one of their top players. In 71 games this past season, he averaged 18.6 PPG, 4.9 rebounds and 2.4 assists.

Golden State fans can feel a sense of relief, as Wiggins will now not miss any serious time.
