This man was on fire during the start of 22-23 season. Despite this, he had to file multiple long period of leaves just to deal with personal / family matters, which ultimately killed his momentum.
He also had to brush of the rumours of his wife cheating on him with his friend and having an illegitimate child.
He returned for the 22-23 playoffs. Played meaningful defense and faught tooth and nail with Steph Curry vs the Kings. Defended LeBron majority of time during the 2nd round, which resulted in injuring his rib. He took the risk, sacrificed his body, and played with a broken rib just to have a chance of advancing the playoffs.
Took the 23-24 off season by recovering from his injury while continuing to support his family.
Started the 23-24 season beyond poorly, got benched but eventually started to get his groove mid season. Random injuries and personal/family leaves killed his momentum again.
He placed his head down and ended last season decently by being functional and playing alongside the starting line up with Kuminga.
Rough start to the upcoming season with Wiggins grieving for the loss of his father. Hope he can stay focus and enjoy playing meaningful and consistent minutes of basketball.
He's grateful with the organization for understanding his situation. I believe he will make the most of it and repay what was given to him during the last two years. Hope the community will also continue to be patient with him and have faith that he will bounce back.
Sorry for the rough English and all the love to Warriors fans!

I believe he will show up for 5-8 games during the season.
Wiggs is a phenomenal player and in his prime. His father’s sickness pulled his attention, but the guy hasn’t lost a step. With his father’s passing, I’m not 100% sure he’ll be all there this year, but I believe in him too. He’s the most important piece to the final Curry years.
Edit – just adding on that I believe him to be our 2nd option. Hopefully, Kuminga/Hield can be our other scoring options.
What’s the other option? Not believing in him?
That’s NBA Champion, Andrew Wiggins! I believe too. Can’t wait for the season to start next month!
I feel really bad regarding how the Warriors pulled Wiggs from Team 🇨🇦. I think it may have been something he really wanted to do for his Dad and himself. I just want him to heal and to do well, I know it’s gonna be hard to get over losing a father. 🙏
Not real bright are ya
Delusion
I believe in Wiggins but I believe in Kuminga more
I still believe too. I know he’s had a tough year or so dealing with the family matters. But I think he’ll bury his head into balling to help his mental. Players have previously mentioned they’ll really lock in to help get away from the noise and etc.
Finally. I believe too. I think this is going to be the year everyone finally shuts the fuck up. Let the man play and respect his privacy.
He’s just a better version of Harrison Barnes.
I don’t
THIS is the bounce back year for Wiggs — his pops finally resting in peace will be a huge weight off of his back. dealing with this huge loss will fuel his focus on basketball, you need a mental and emotional distraction to get you through from day to day. There’s no better distraction than proving mfers wrong. Our defense is gonna be top10 this year and that’s because he’s gonna be a driving force in lockin that sht down!
People don’t realize how dependent the dubs are on his defense. Yeah, the personal issues sucked the past 2 years, he’s a person just like most people. He changed his game and became a champ. We would not have won without him. There’s a lot of new faces since then. If this team gels, I have no doubt Wiggs will do what it takes to shine again.
I’m on the fence. What I do believe is that the chance that he will get back into form has the potential of giving us far greater value than we could ever get in a trade. Unless some such trade opportunity does emerge, we’re better off keeping him and hoping for the best.
RIP Papa Wiggs
Liar! You wanted to trade him for that chump from Utah!!
