Andrew Wiggins had missed time over the past two seasons, and sat out of Canada's run in the Olympics, due to family concerns, presumed to be related to his father's health.

    Very sad. While Andrew was playing in Minnesota I got to talk to Mitch before every home game. He was a very kind man and took time to talk to fans. RIP to a very kind person. Wishing all the best to the Wiggins family.

    I loved Mitchell Wiggins as a player. Yes I’m old enough to remember him. He’s only twelve years older than me.

    Mitch wiggins was a what if in itself but being able to see your son win a championship and be the major difference maker is one final memory to have. He started having medical problems couple months after that too.

    condolences to the family. His father’s health obviously had a huge impact on Andrew on and off the court these past few years.

    It was a delight watching the man playing in Greece back in the day. May he rest in peace and condolences to his family.

    RIP to a former FSU legend. One of the best to ever don the Garnet and Gold! Condolences to the Wiggins family.

    Sending heartfelt condolences

    Please dont trade him to Miami, GS front office. A player’s mental wellbeing after a loss like this is bigger than basketball

    This has been a cloud over Wiggs for the past couple of years and it def makes sense. Really puts into perspective what really matters – hope he gets to be there for his family and honor his pops memory because thatโ€™s whatโ€™s really important here

    Condolences and prayers to Andrew and the rest of fam. Mitchell was solid player himself in the NBA

    Any of you pieces of shit who spread rumors about his wife and child while he was comforting his dying father can fuck right off. Save your fake ass apologies and go to therapy.

    RIP Mitchell Wiggins

    I think its also horrible that while Wiggins was away from the Warriors dealing with this, people were making baseless rumors saying that the cause for his absence was that he found out his kids were not his.

    Well I guess we all know why he stepped away from basketball

    Whoever made those claims about his wife cheating on him and their kids not being his is a garbage human being. RIP to Mitchell Wiggins, condolences to their family.

  16. Never easy losing a parent. I recall chuck saying,” once you lose both your parents nothing is ever the same”. He’s right.
