Oh no. 💔 Thoughts and prayers to Wiggs and his family and may his father finally be at peace.

Oh damn RIP daddy wigs. 🙏 Hope Andrew gets the time he needs to grieve.

This is absolutely why he was so in and out of the lineup. That SUCKS, my dad has been in and out for cancer and it has absolutely taken a toll on my life. There is no way to stay focused when something like this is occurring. Hope he can find his peace and get back to his life + family.
edit: Hey everyone, thanks for the well wishes. We’re in a good spot and things are in control. Was offering my point of view on a crummy situation. Its something we all have to go through at some point. A sort of “milestone” in your life when your parents start getting older like this. Be Safe and Go Dub!

When he canceled his China trip, I figured that his Dad’s health could be the reason. All best wishes to him and the rest of his family to grieve and come to terms with this loss. I hope his teammates, coaches, etc., will be a source of sympathy and support along the way.

Knew he was battling something for a while with how much time Wiggs missed
Rest in peace, hope he’s in a better place

Never understood why so many people badmouthed Wiggins for missing time. #1 it’s not our business #2 now you know why, #3 family always comes first, even over work.

FUCK MAN i just lost my (24) dad (76) to a fckn stroke that was a side effect of his chemo. His oncologist just gave him good news too. Fuck cancer man. I’m still a wreck and I’m not even working , can’t imagine what it’s like working with the public speculating

Sad for Andrew, wish he didn’t have to go through this, wish none of us had to go through this. Lost my dad 2 years ago and know the pain, it hurts more than anything.

Sad to hear about Wiggs losing his father. Family is always the top priority, and Wiggs made sure to be there for his. Mitch saw his son achieve greatness. Rest well.

Sad day for Dub Nation. I hope the best for the Wiggins family – losing a parent is the shits.

My god. I hope Wiggins gets the time he needs to grieve. I don’t care if he misses half the season. Basketball is nothing compared to what he’s going thru and so many people have given him shit for it

Lost my dad to Alzheimer’s last year. Brutal. Condolences to Wiggins. To try to play your best when that happens is emotionally draining.
Patient-Motor-4803
Damn I really hope the warriors kept Wiggs out of the Olympics for legitimate reasons, I can imagine him wanting to have been there for his pops.
Either way, gotta give all the support we can to our champ

It makes me happy that the organization supported Andrew while he was going through this. ❤️

Rest In Power Mitchell Wiggins.
As someone who really like Cinderella story and hate the media trying to insert into Wiggins life, it’s awful.
Watching people speculate about how his kids are not his own but his best friend. It’s disgusting.

I totally understand and was in Wigs shoes taking care of my dad the last three years of his life while putting my life and my own family on hold in NorCal. He passed early last year in Las Vegas and I came back home to get my life with the misses and daughter back together. Now I’m on family leave trying to get the house packed and mom together, she hasn’t recovered and tbh neither have I. I hope Andrew gets peace of mind in knowing that his dad knew he was there for him and that he finds his form when he gets back to NBA shape and speed.

Condolences to the Wiggins family. Sucks how media was bashing Andrew and speculating all kinds of wild theories. We’re all human and Andrew didn’t deserve to get that hate while his father’s health was declining. RIP Mitchell Wiggins

This sub was doing Andrew dirty whenever he would be away from the team. I’ll never forget it that 😂

Fuck everyone that ripped him for leaving to attend family matters.

Imagine dealing with this but then people spread rumours saying your wife is infidel and he’s cucking someone else’s child…

Shame on every entitled fan that felt like they deserved to know about this. Ridiculous

Nothing prepares you to lose a parent so young. Its almost worse when yoy see them deteriorate over an extended period. Prayers up for our boy Wiggs

Can we now shut up with the disgusting rumors? His pop was obviously ill and that was what was going on.
Condolences to the Wiggins family.

I grew up as a short, mediocre athlete, white kid with shaggy hair in a smaller hockey town in Canada.
I was absolutely obsessed with basketball, and practiced every day for hours. Despite being somewhat skilled, I was always overlooked by coaches because I just didn’t look like what they thought a basketball player should.
One summer, I attended a basketball camp coached by Mitchel Wiggins. Partway through the camp, he pulled me aside and told me he had been watching me all week, and that although I like to shoot, I’m not just a shooter, I’m a “baller”. And then he called out specific scenarios that had played out at the camp where he had seen me do something positive.
~20 years later and that still sticks out to me. Super charismatic guy, a great teacher and motivator, insane BBIQ. Just wanted to put that experience out there.
