With Wiggins not at 100%, other Warriors players will need to step up, including Klay Thompson, Jordan Poole and Payton. His 25-point performance in Game 5 helped the Warriors force a Game 6. Wiggins’ health is paramount to the task of overcoming a 3-2 deficit in the best-of-seven series. So he’s gonna get hit a lot… It’s definitely tough but once you get over the hump they’re like, ‘Alright I’m doing this and it can’t get worse, you kind of just try to go out there and play through.” “Especially a guy like Wiggins, you get a lot of action, he’s guarding the best player on the court.

“ want to play freely on the court, you want to use your instinct but the way you got the injury, you kind of guard the area and it can make you overthink a little bit,” Looney said. It’s unclear how Wiggins’ injury, which is located on his lower left side of the ribcage, might impact his ability to shoot and match the physicality needed to take on James. Looney missed one game immediately following the injury but played the last three games of the series. “There were a couple games I wasn’t sure if I was gonna get through but I was able to get through,” he said. He ranked his pain level at a seven or eight on a scale between one through 10. He said he was functional for the most part, but the pain management was “pretty tough” to handle. All thoughts and opinions are my own.Looney wore a protective pad over the injured area near his collarbone. Overall, it was a decent read, but I don’t think I’d read it again.ĭisclaimer: I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. Honestly, I’m still not sure what to think of it, but I was surprised that was nice. I persevered, though, and was somewhat glad I did. There were many moments where I found her annoying and wanted to stop reading because of that. As I mentioned before, she is dealing with some trauma from her past so some of the things she does make sense because of that. The main character, Claire, has a personality that makes her very difficult to like. Unfortunately, one of the things I disliked the most was one of the main parts of the book. There were other aspects such as the main character’s emotional trauma and the pharmaceutical theme, which was nice. I liked that this book wasn’t just a straight forward suspense or thriller book. This book starts off very exciting and creepy with our main character being stalked by a guy. I’d hoped to like this book more than I did, but I didn’t hate it.
