Apologies to all the Chinese fans. Andrew and his family are going through a tough time right now. When the time is right, we will come back and see you all.

> Andrew won’t be able to come to China in the next couple days due to a family emergency. These days have been really rough and tough on Andrew and the family, and this trip really meant a lot to us
Here we go again. See you in December boys
this ongoing issue, as much as anything, has hindered the roster build. at this point, you cant count on him and you also cant trade him for it would be a pr nightmare as well as nobody is trading you for him. whatever it is, man i hope it gets better or resolved.
In these “emergencies,” whatever they are, there are two issues – CARE and PRESENCE. Unlike 99% of workers in America, Wiggins can afford the very finest professional CARE that money can buy. He does not need to be physically present to ensure his loved ones are being cared for.
If he needs to be PRESENT, in person, every time one of these emergencies occurs, he needs to RETIRE. He never needs to work another day in his life from a financial perspective, so he needs to decide what he is serious about — doing the job he is being incredibly well paid for, or being with his family. I support him 100% if he chooses his family. I support him 100% if he chooses his job. I do NOT support him AT ALL if he chooses to continue to draw his salary and just run off every time these (apparently recurring) emergencies occur.
I feel like whatever it will be for better or worse will come to a conclusion before the season starts.
At this point we pretty much know his dad is fighting some terminal illness of some kind. It sucks
Why are people here in the comments upset? He’s not even playing basketball yet lmao
Welp there goes my hope see you 2026
Man i kinda want wiggs to just tell everyone what’s truly going on in his family and what emergency it is so people can hop the fuck off his back, like family emergencies of any kind is no light matter yet everyone is like oh wiggins u family emergency u bad player now we not making finals.
