Now his girlfriend Mychal Johnson has spoken out after becoming frustrated at the rumor mill.
She tweeted: “The internet is really a sick place.”
And the 27-year-old added: “It’s sad y’all even doing this.”
“Don’t believe everything you read on social media!!!”
Wiggins’ girlfriend didn’t further elaborate on the posts.
The couple have been dating for almost 10 years having initially met in high school.
They now have two daughters together – three-year-old Amyah and soon to be one Alayah.
The Athletic quoted an anonymous source last week as saying: “What he’s dealing with is some real (expletive).”
Golden State coach Steve Kerr said earlier this month he hopes that Wiggins is back this season.
Speaking on March 11, Kerr said: “We’re giving him his space as we’ve talked about as he deals with something that’s way more important than the game.
“If he’s able to come back, then that would be great and if not then that’s the case and whatever happens, we handle it accordingly.”
Wiggins was the No 1 overall pick in 2014 with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
He moved to the Warriors in 2020 and was part of their team that won the NBA Championship last year.
