Wiggins joined the Warriors during the 2019-20 season as a piece of a blockbuster trade with the Minnesota Timberwolves that featured D’Angelo Russell and the No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 NBA draft.

In his second full season with the Warriors, Wiggins thrived alongside Steph Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole. On his way to an appearance in the starting lineup in the 2021 All-Star game, Wiggins averaged 17.2 points on 46.6% shooting from the field and a career-best 39.3% from deep.
Wiggins played a key role in Golden State’s battle against the Boston Celtics in the 2022 NBA Finals, averaging 18.3 points on 44.6% shooting from the field with 8.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks in six games.
With a pair of contract extensions delivered before the start of the regular season, the Warriors will defend their championship with a star-studded core that features Wiggins, Poole, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green.
