Shams: Golden State’s Andrew Wiggins plans to attend Warriors-Thunder on Tuesday. The reason for Wiggins’ leave of absence since mid-February is that his father, Mitchell Wiggins, has been dealing with a serious medical situation, sources close to the situation say. 🙏🏽

Glad the rumors have been put to rest, shame on people for spreading them
Had a feeling it had to do with someone really close, fuck all of you on here for spreading that gross rumor about his wife and kids

>The Warriors have given Wiggins complete space and freedom to deal with his family matter.
Thank god the rumours can be squashed. I felt bad for his gf
Fuck all those people who spread rumors
all these conspiracy theorists and TMZ gossip merchants can shut the fuck up mow.
And you got weirdos on the internet spreading disgusting rumors for clout. SMH
Paul Pierce is the dumbest mfer alive
I wish I can take months off my work if that happened to my dad
I sincerely hope Wiggins’s dad is good. Basketball is cool but family over all else.
Crazy to think that the initial stupid rumor spread was because of a fucking random from Tiktok talking shit in a McDonalds.
Damn hope his father is doing alright now. Also fuck anyone who was spreading rumors abt his kids and his gf
Obviously this is a cover up of Curry punching Wiggins in practice.
If you can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen. His nickname is chef for a reason.
Wait so was that rumor just complete horseshit?
Does “attend” mean play?
Fuck that one dumbass who kept saying Wiggs was transitioning
Hope Wiggins senior gets better or is already recovered!
So just in time for him to put in reps for the playoffs
Praying for Wiggs dad to be alright🙏
Paul Pierce should publicly apologize as should all of these social media maggots who spread baseless rumors
Hopefully his father is doing better now. Very happy that the organization gave Wiggins the space he needed to deal with the matter. In the US, it’s rare for an employer to grant an employee so much freedom to attend to a personal matter so I’m glad the warriors broke from the norm
I’d be really surprised if he can actually play tomorrow. Was sure there’d be a ramp up period. But maybe they’re skipping that and just hoping he’ll play well.
Honestly I doubt his father’s situation is resolved. Medical conditions are never that easy. I just hope it becomes manageable for Wiggins and his family.
Just glad to finally have some closure and start the healing process. We missed you Wiggs!
maple jordan crying with the trophy like actual jordan 👀
That bald fool spreading lies with starbucks wifi. What a cunt…
This is the best day of the whole damn season🎉🤯🫨💓
Bro lets just not put too much pressure on him to play like mj.Just hope he just has not forgotten to play and gets back in rhythm.
Hope Wiggins dad is good
Family before 🏀.
Good kid
I’m glad that he feels good enough to attend this game.
Hopefully his father is doing much better too. At the end of the day if you’re a millionaire in good-standing, but can’t attend to family when they need you most, then what’s the point of all of it? I’m glad he was able to do what he felt he needed to do.
Finally, we can get back to basketball.
Not sure why they didn’t just say that from the beginning.
Does anyone know where those other rumors started?
Like who the hell would come up with something that crazy and it’s clearly false? I don’t get it
LFGoooooo
If this is true, there’s gonna be the HUGEST standing ovation for our man Wiggins! Happy to have him back with the team, I’ll be keeping Wiggins’ dad in my prayers.
I hope his dad recovers and hopefully Wiggins return is a sign he’s doing better! Idk what I’d do or who I’d be with my Dad! That man is the anchor in my life and means so much to me. I hate even thinking about this.
Tbh, I hope it’s Wiggs that leaked this. If the team and the FO were accepting of his absence, then so should everyone else. Now that it’s out, I hope his dad is doing better.
These sources need to shit the fuck up.
Also i can understand why people wouldn’t want that to leak
“Attend” safe assumption that he is probably not going to play?
seems like a cover up.
Let’s fucking go man. Warriors need to do their part now to be able to welcome Wiggs back to the playoffs! I’M READY WHOS READY?!?!???
I hope Wiggs dad is alright, and honestly I wish they didn’t even mention why he was gone. Nobody but the dudes paying you deserve to know why you were gone, and especially not any of the people spreading rumors and acting entitled.
Anyways, couldn’t have picked a better time; hopeful for our next couple of games.
I hope his dad is okay.
Prayers up.
I think Wiggins is a really sensitive person and I don’t mean that in a bad way. I hope he’s OK and ready to play now.
how did it leak now
I wish they just said that, didn’t even need to say father just that a family member is dealing with a serious illness. That way our fans fuck off with the speculations and not giving him the benefit of the doubt.
