During a brief interview with NBC Sports Bay Area, Wiggins stated that he is unaware of coach Steve Kerr’s decision regarding his position in the roster. He said, “I?ve got to wait and see. But I would get it if (coach Steve Kerr) said he wants me to come off the bench. I wasn?t here for a long time, so I would understand. You can?t say anything about that.” Furthermore, he added, “I mean, Steph came off the bench last year. What? Steph can do it, but I can?t?”
