[Saba Sports News] There seems to be a growing concern within the Golden State Warriors regarding Andrew Wiggins’ physical fitness this season. According to ESPN’s Kendra Andrews, the team is frustrated that Wiggins did not dedicate enough effort to stay in shape over the summer. This perceived lack of commitment has resulted in Wiggins not being in optimal condition, causing some dissatisfaction among the Warriors’ ranks.
Wiggins, a former first overall draft pick, is currently not performing at his best. His statistics have significantly dropped, with career lows in points (11.8 per game), rebounds (4.1 per game), and assists (1.1 per game). Moreover, his shooting percentage from the three-point range has fallen to 25.5%, and his defense has noticeably weakened, as indicated by his career-worst 118.5 defensive rating.
While Wiggins has faced challenges, including missing time last season due to a family health crisis that affected his conditioning, concerns about his work ethic have been a recurring theme throughout his career. Now, after winning an NBA championship with the Warriors and securing a new $109 million contract, questions are being raised about his remaining drive and motivation.
