[Saba Sports News] Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins has faced a family tragedy with the passing of his father, Mitchell Wiggins, at age 64.
Andrew’s sister, Angelica, shared the heartbreaking news on social media.
Mitchell, a former NBA shooting guard who played for Chicago, Houston, and Philadelphia, also had a successful overseas career, highlighted by All-Star appearances and scoring titles in the Greek Basketball League.
Andrew, the 2014 No. 1 overall pick and 2022 NBA champion, missed time over the last two seasons due to personal reasons, which were later revealed to be related to his father’s serious health issues. Sadly, Mitchell passed just shy of his 65th birthday.
