Beijing time on September 14, Golden State Warriors player Andrew Wiggins’ father, Mitchell, passed away. Andrew Wiggins has not made any comments to the outside world.

This news is well known. It first originated from the personal social media post of Andrew Wiggins' sister. His sister posted a post to mourn her recently deceased father, Mitchell Wiggins, and hoped that his father could rest in peace.

Andrew Wiggins' father, Mitchell Wiggins, has died at the age of 64. Mitchell Wiggins is a former NBA player, and Andrew Wiggins fell in love with playing basketball under the influence of his father, Mitchell Wiggins.

Mitchell Wiggins has played in the NBA for 6 years and has played for the Rockets , Bulls and 76ers . NBA career averages are 10.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 46%.

However, there are also some disgraceful things in Mitchell Wiggins' NBA career. That was in 1987, when he tested positive for cocaine and was suspended by the league for two and a half seasons. In the end, he had to play overseas.

His honors and achievements are not as great as his son Andrew Wiggins. Because Andrew Wiggins was the No. 1 pick in the 2014 NBA draft.

After the Cleveland Cavaliers selected him, they traded him to the Minnesota Timberwolves , which also made Andrew Wiggins always hold a grudge. Andrew Wiggins has been playing very hard over the years, hoping to compete, especially against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Andrew Wiggins has only entered the All-Star Game once in his career, and that was in 2022, that season, when he helped the Golden State Warriors enter the finals and win the championship. That season, Andrew Wiggins averaged 17.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game.

However, since winning the championship in the 2021-22 season, Andrew Wiggins has been busy with his own family and private matters. For two consecutive seasons, because his father was seriously ill, he had to miss a large number of games to take care of his father.

He also missed some games last season, but because the team needed him, he could only return hastily. After family discussions, his brother, who plays overseas, resigned and returned home to take care of his father, Mitchell Wiggins.

No matter what, the Golden State Warriors management has given Andrew Wiggins enough support in the past two seasons as a reward for his salary reduction and contract extension.

The boss publicly asked the media to block Andrew Wiggins' private family affairs. This resulted in many fans and media not knowing why Andrew Wiggins was absent from the game for a long time.

The team did not announce the reason for his absence from the game, but only stated that he had to deal with some private family matters. Fortunately, the entire Warriors team expressed support for Andrew Wiggins and hoped that he would handle his personal affairs before considering returning to the game.

Now, Andrew Wiggins’ father, Mitchell Wiggins, has passed away. All he needs to do is take some time to recover from the grief of losing his father and return to the game.

When the Golden State Warriors missed the playoffs in the 2023-24 season, Andrew Wiggins received a lot of criticism. Going into the 2024-25 season, they need Andrew Wiggins to be at his best to help them compete against the best teams in the Western Conference and make a deep playoff run.
