Wiggins’ girlfriend Mychal Johnson called the internet a “sick place” after rumors swirled of an alleged affair involving the NBA star.
Addressing the rumors directly, she said last month: “The internet is really a sick place.”
According to NBA Insider Shams Charania, Wiggins has been away from the court due to his father’s ill health.

Charania of The Athletic tweeted on Monday: “Golden State’s Andrew Wiggins plans to attend Warriors-Thunder on Tuesday.
“The reason for Wiggins’ leave of absence since mid-February is that his father, Mitchell Wiggins, has been dealing with a serious medical situation, sources close to the situation say.
“The Warriors have given Wiggins complete space and freedom to deal with his family matter.”
Draymond Green had previously slammed trolls who spread rumors about his teammates’ lengthy time away from the court.

In an outspoken appearance on his podcast, Green raged: “Sometimes people disgust me.
“You don’t know what someone is dealing with, and then you make them deal with [other rumors]? Stop it, it’s disgusting.”
Fans piled onto social media to send their best to Wiggins.
One wrote: “The Warriors have been doing s**t the right way for years, easily the best actual organization in the league.”
While another added: “Family over everything. Life’s bigger than basketball.”
Wiggins has so far missed more than half of Golden State’s games this season.
Since the start of his latest absence in mid-February, the Warriors are 12-10 without their All-Star swingman.
Wiggins has averaged 17.1 points per game this season and is shooting 39.6 percent from beyond the arc.
Golden State (41-38) takes on the Oklahoma City Thunder (38-41) on Tuesday with Wiggins reportedly to be in attendance at Chase Center.
