After emerging victorious in the previous season, the Golden State Warriors are now striving to win their second consecutive ring. Currently, at the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference, the Warriors are going to need all the help they can get to make it to the playoffs. Amid all that, Andrew Wiggins remains absent from the Warriors lineups, thus prompting the NBA world to come up with various speculations. As a result, a wild rumor about Wiggins’ continued absence has caught the attention of fans. This prompted an NBA legend to question the authenticity of the report.

The last time the Dub Nation saw Andrew Wiggins in action was on February 13. Moreover, Wiggins dropped 29 points and led his team to victory against the Washington Wizards in Stephen Curry’s absence.

Paul Pierce questions the Andrew Wiggins rumors

It has been over a month since fans saw Andrew Wiggins on the court. Having missed 14 games to date, Wiggins is reportedly on a break due to ‘personal reasons’. The Warriors franchise has remained tight-lipped on what the possible issue might be. This has led to the emergence of a rather shocking rumor. As per unconfirmed reports, Wiggins found out that his girlfriend, Mychal Johnson, had been cheating on him with his best friend.

As of now, the rumors are completely baseless with no proof to back them up. This is why Paul Pierce had to seek Twitterati’s help to calm his curious nerves. The Boston Celtics legend dropped a tweet that read, “Please tell me that Andrew Wiggins rumor not True.”

While Wiggins has seemingly chosen to remain quiet on the matter, his girlfriend got frustrated with the rumors and decided to provide a little clarity on the issue.

Mychal Johnson denies the claims

Just a day after Pierce posted the tweet, Johnson took to Twitter and expressed her disappointment over the rumors. While she chose not to get into the details of Wiggins’ unavailability, Johnson made sure to shut down the claims with her not-so-subtle tweet.

She wrote, “Literally the farthest thing from the truth. It’s sad y’all even doing this.”

Based on the comments section, the internet seemed to have been divided in half on the matter. While half of Twitterati extended their support to the mother of two, the other half demanded an explanation for Wiggins’ absence.
