[Slater] The Warriors have declined to give a definitive timetable on Wiggins’ expected absence. “We’ll obviously respect Andrew’s wishes for this to remain private. Personal reasons.” Wiggins missed the final 25 games last season to attend to a personal matter.

Did we ever get an inkling of a clue as to what last years absence was about?
Idc what the exact reasoning is. I just didn’t like the whole indefinite thing last year. Just be straight up about how long he’ll be out. Last season he was gone for a month before we even found out that he literally had not even been with the team. Then there were reports that he hadn’t even been working out.
Do people in the thread not remember that he missed time last year due to his dad’s debilitating health? It’s an easy thing to google since he went on the record saying it, no need to keep spreading baseless rumors or accuse him/the team of lacking transparency.
Obviously can’t assume that it’s related to the current absence, but geez give him and the team some credit for respecting privacy until it’s the right time to open up.
Edit: it was a Shams report that came out the same week he came back that specified it was his father’s health, and he went on record that he was away due to “family needs.” There was never any refutation from him or the team about this, and Shams is as legit as they come. I realize he didn’t come out and specifically say “it was my father’s health” and he/the team chose their words and channels carefully. My original wording may have been overly brazen, but there really isn’t a conspiracy going on here guys.
I’m sure he will be donating his salary not keeping it right?
Wiggins’ only professional obligation is to inform the front office and maybe the coach. He doesn’t have to tell his teammates anything, he doesn’t have to tell the fans anything.
BUT…
There’s a moral obligation to tell his teammates. And I’d argue there’s a moral obligation to share something with the people buying his jersey.
Any good job will give you the bereavement time you need, but it’s still a business and at the end of the day a conversation will have to be had about Wiggins’ lack of reliability when the team needs him most. And you can’t blame anyone for having these conversations when he isn’t sharing any other details.
I’m sympathetic to anyone going through family health issues, but when my grandma passed away last year I got 3 days to grieve and I was back to work.
This is so weird
100m contract
Team worth billions, player worth hundreds of millions, because of the fans.
​
This sub: respec him privacy, the team know what they doing.
​
GG *another season.
Damn people here are really like “fuck this dude’s mental/physical health I want my entertainment”
I wish him the very best, but I’ll kinda be glad when he is no longer a Warrior.
Most of the comments are so entitled and unnecessary. You people don’t work with the man, why do you care? Those who pay him and work with him know. Wish him well and move on. Lord.
Sigh
Only thing I got from this post is the people who frequent this sub would make awful bosses.
you guys are pathetic, thinking that a human being OWES you an explanation for their leave because of a PERSONAL MATTER! Life is bigger than basketball, you cucks!
try not to be entitled fans challenge (impossible)
At this point, I’m just glad Moody gets the playing time he deserves, he will show us the way to a championship
trade him in the off season for whoever will take him. it might have to be pennies on the dollar but his decline and now annual leaves for unspecified amount of time (as much as it sucks for him and whatever it is hes going thru) you cannot go into the most important part of the season with this question mark. on top of that, it took him 2-3 months to start looking somewhat normal on the court. this is just a bad situation and they should move on. put moses in his spot and hope he balls out like jk did once he got his chance and regular minutes.
The most unreliable dude on this planet.
Family > Sports.
I’m proud that the org is letting Wiggins deal with his personal life but it sucks for the team. It’s Moody’s chance to show he deserves more minutes or he’s a trade candidate in the offseason.
Look I’m sorry but at this point it’s like insurance
Even if it’s not your fault, if someone crashed into you 3 times in a year your insurance rates go up because you are costing them money.. It sucks but logically it makes sense
If you’re not reliable, even if it’s not necessarily always your fault, the fact that you aren’t reliable is still a problem
i be fired, or atleast not be paid during the time if i took 2 months off
Dude should retire and focus on his personal life.
Obviously family first holds true. But the problem is that this team is dependent on Wiggins to succeed. He fills a vital defensive role and without him we are treading water at best. To make matters worse he was just fully rounding into form at a critical juncture in the season. Fans have every right to be upset about an indefinite absence especially after last years 25 games missed and his abysmal performances to start the season… just a bit shit
I get family above all but at a certain point you aren’t towing the line anymore and are letting your team and fans down.
When we said we had to roll it back at the end of last season…I didn’t intend it to mean literally repeating the 2022-2023 season
So should we care about it or no? If it’s so private and personal maybe we just stop posting about this and move on?
Just here to read comments from all the white knights
I’ll say this again, the league has a history of these things happening and it’s not made a big deal. We’re so comfortable with treating players like characters instead of people, it’s disgusting.
First and foremost, all the positive thoughts and whatever energy is needed for Wiggs and his family that is needed during this time.
It is baffling to see the split in the fanbase around this. There’s some who are respecting his decision to take the time/the organizations decision to keep it private per Wiggs’ request. Then there’s the folks who are basically saying he should get over it and come back to play.
I do wonder if the latter camp of people would be the same people who would complain if Wiggs came back early and then didn’t perform well because he looked distracted. You’re damn right he’s distracted!
