Another summer of bargain hunting awaits Lakers

Steve Kerr and the Golden State Warriors still hope Andrew Wiggins will be able to return this season. Wiggins has been out since Feb. 13th tending to a family matter.

“I think that’s the hope,” Kerr said during his pregame press conference. “But really, there’s nothing to report on.”

Wiggins was a key part of Golden State’s championship a year ago.

“We’re giving him his space, as we’ve talked about, as he deals with something that’s way more important than a game,” Kerr said. “If he’s able to come back, that would be great. And if not, then that’s the case. Whatever happens, we’ll handle it accordingly.”

Bismack Biyombo has agreed to sign with the San Antonio Spurs for the remainder of the season at the conclusion of his second 10-day contract. Biyombo has become the starting center for the Spurs following the season-ending blood clot issue suffered by Victor Wembanyama.

In six games this season, Biyombo is averaging 5.7 points and 5.0 rebounds in 16.0 minutes.
