Wiggins was questionable to play in Friday’s game at Chase Center due to a right ankle impingement, but he was able to start and he played 17:31 in the first half.
Wiggins’ latest ailment happened when he drove into the lane against the Timberwolves, and when he split Rudy Gobert and Anthony Edwards, his right ankle rolled.
Wiggins was in noticeable discomfort and played a few more possessions before Warriors coach Steve Kerr called a timeout to get the former All-Star out of the game.
The 29-year-old finished the game with 11 points on 3-of-8 shooting from the field and 1 of 3 from 3-point range.
The Warriors also announced that guard Moses Moody exited the game with a left knee soreness and wouldn’t return.
