Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins has been placed in the NBA’s health and safety protocols, Anthony Slater of The Athletic tweets. Wiggins is one of several players to enter the league’s protocols this weekend, including Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and Trae Young.

As a whole, the NBA currently has over 60 players out due to those protocols. The league also postponed five games earlier today as multiple teams deal with outbreaks.

Wiggins, an eight-year veteran, has played a key role in the Warriors’ success this season. He’s holding per-game averages of 18.7 points, 4.5 rebounds and 31.1 minutes, shooting 49% from the floor and 42% from three.

Golden State owns the second-best record in the league at 24-6, although the team is only 6-4 in its last 10 games.
