\"WarriorsGolden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has many reasons to look forward to Tuesday\u2019s matchup against the Miami Heat. Kerr revealed the Jimmy Butler reason why Stephen Curry might play and how excited he is to see Andrew Wiggins, the former Warriors forward and member of the 2022 championship team.Wiggins was traded to the Heat as part of the five-team blockbuster deal that landed the Warriors Butler in return. Ahead of Tuesday\u2019s matchup, Kerr addressed seeing Wiggins, per 95.7 The Game\u2019s X, formerly Twitter.\u201cWe can\u2019t wait to see him [Wiggins] tomorrow, and hopefully, he doesn\u2019t give us 42 [points], but I root for that guy, and I will for the rest of his career\u2026 Everybody loves Wiggs,\u201d Kerr said. \u201cJust an incredible human being, and we miss him around here.\u201dAndrew Wiggins was a catalyst for the Warriors defeating the Boston Celtics in the 2022 NBA Finals. Since the move, Wiggins has adapted to his new environment with the Heat. While averaging 23.7 points on 56.1% shooting, including 42.9% from deep, 3.1 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.0 blocks, and 1.0 steals per game this month, Wiggins netted a season-high 42 points in a 122-105 win against the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Kerr says Curry could return against the Heat, per The Athletic\u2019s Anthony Slater.<\/p>\n

\u201cSteph feels an obligation always to be there for his teammates, regardless of the circumstances,\u201d Kerr said. \u201cHe\u2019s an amazing teammate, and he wants to get back as soon as possible mainly so we can win games and climb the latter in the playoff race. But no doubt he wants to be there for Jimmy, too. And it\u2019s one of the things I love about Steph. He\u2019s always there for his guys.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reflecting on when Kevin Durant made his return to face the Oklahoma City Thunder in his first year with the Warriors, Kerr understands how emotional the return will be for Butler.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was maybe the most emotional return game I\u2019ve been a part of,\u201d Kerr said. \u201cIt kind of got ugly, really. So, it was important for our guys to go to bat for Kevin, and they all did. And it was nice to get that behind us when it happened.\u201d<\/p>\n
