The Golden State Warriors are in trouble right now. They only have 12 games left in their regular season schedule and are sixth in the West. The Warriors have seven of their last 12 games on the road, which is concerning, as they’ve lost their last nine road games. In times like these, Warriors fans wonder about Andrew Wiggins even more.

The Warriors star, primarily considered the 2nd best player on the 2022 Championship team, was a huge part of their success, both on the offense and the defense. This year, he had improved his efficiency and was shooting a career-best 39.6% from the deep.
Unfortunately, due to a serious family matter, Wiggins has been away from the Warriors for over a month. He last played a game on February 13th and has missed 13 straight games. Now, there is no update on his return, but there are nasty rumors circling about his long-time girlfriend and his best friend.

Who is Andrew Wiggins’ best friend?
The whole question about Wiggins’ best friend came into existence because of this rumor spread by people on the internet. Apparently, there is a rumor that Wiggins’ wife(long-time girlfriend, Mychal Johnson) cheated on him with his best friend.
Now, these are all just rumors spread by random accounts on Twitter. There is no proof of the same on their social media, and nothing has been said by anyone close to the involved parties. However, this led people to wonder, who is this best friend?
Wiggins is a very private guy, and there is no information anywhere about a best friend. However, if we talk about the Warriors, there is a guy that Wiggins considers his close friend: Jordan Poole. Both joined the Warriors in the same season, and have developed in the system together. They both managed the pressure and expectations of playing with the Warriors and came out stronger.
Even when the Warriors won the championship, the two were seen celebrating together.
Over the offseason, both Poole and Wiggins secured huge extensions till the 2026-27 season. It gives them time together to build a new core for a championship team. During Wiggins’ absence, this is what Poole had to say.
It’s clear that the two are close, but there is nothing that suggests that Poole, or any friends of Wiggins’ was involved with Mychal Johnson.
