Canadian Olympic basketball team general manager Rowan Barrett said Friday that Golden State is blocking Andrew Wiggins from competing in Paris, while the Warriors countered it was a mutual decision between the team and Wiggins. Wiggins was among the 20 players who received invitations to camp to determine the Olympic team.
FILE - Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins works against the Orlando Magic during the second half of an NBA basketball game, March 27, 2024, in Orlando, Fla. Canadian Olympic basketball team general manager Rowan Barrett said Friday, June 28, that Golden State is blocking Wiggins from competing in Paris, while the Warriors countered it was a mutual decision between the team and Wiggins.
“So, from what I see, this is not an Andrew decision, this is from the team. And so, he won’t be with us.” The Warriors told The Associated Press on Friday night that it was a mutual decision between the team and Wiggins.“I’m disappointed for him,” Barrett said. “He’s gone through a lot the last couple of years and then, obviously, his mother was an Olympian and this is something he’s looking forward to and working toward and really on the uphill climb it seemed like in everything.
