Andrew Wiggins has been in the NBA since 2014. However, his career didn’t take off until 2020, when he was traded to the Golden State Warriors. Finding a new home for himself, the former #1 pick started showing us all his capabilities and made a place for himself with the Warriors.

He had one of the best years of his NBA career last year, when he earned his first All-Star selection and had a major contribution to the Warriors winning the Championship. This year, his numbers were looking even better. However, he hasn’t been with the team for over a month.
Missing 13 games in a row, the fans are worried about their star. Nothing has been shared with the public except that he’s away on some serious family matter. With uncertainty around the star, someone on the internet created a rumor about Maple Jordan.
What is the rumor about Andrew Wiggins, his wife, and his best friend?

As far as the official channels go, there is nothing on the internet from any source close to Wiggins or the family to confirm that this is true. In fact, he’s not even married yet. He has a long-time girlfriend named Mychal Johnson. They have been said to be dating since 2013, and they bonded over their mutual love of sports. They have two daughters, Amyah Wiggins, and Alayah Milan.
Judging from their social media, the lack of information out there, and the love that these two have for each other, this is most certainly a rumor. People should avoid making such things up about people, especially when they are going through a tough time.
What do Warriors say about Wiggins’ absence?
The team clearly misses Andrew Wiggins, but at the same time, they recognize that there are things bigger than basketball. Here is what Stephen Curry said recently:
