Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins made a lot of people seething in anger Monday night, particularly Dubs fans. The former No. 1 overall pick was a disaster on the floor for the Warriors in their 119-112 home loss to the red-hot New York Knicks.
Wiggins started for the Warriors and played 24 minutes, and during that time, he was only able to muster seven points on 2/9 shooting from the floor. He had eight rebounds but finished with a plus/minus of minus-10.
Golden State Warriors, NBA Fans Did Not Hold Back On Andrew Wiggins
Fans took their frustrations on Wiggins to social media where they relentlessly roasted the former Kansas Jayhawks star.
“Andrew Wiggins doesn’t exist to me anymore,” said X user @My_mommmm.
“Andrew Wiggins needa wake up…like….RIGHT NOW,” chimed in @LilTsaeb.
“I really dislike Andrew Wiggins, son,” posted @IamJulito.
“Andrew Wiggins get anything less than 15 points tonight he’s banned for life. Literally on the verge of single handedly cooking my Parlay,” a frustrated @redrumkass5 told his followers on X.
Here’s one from@ 27woorld: “Andrew Wiggins played a nasty game .. no excuses. No way you took 3 shots the first 3Q .. no aggression . No effort offensively. You have to be better man”
Another one (via @MoodyMuse4: “Andrew Wiggins. Thank you for all you did as a warrior. Never play again”
To be fair to Wiggins, he wasn’t the only Warrior who was a dud in the Knicks game. Draymond Green and Brandin Podziemski combined for just two points on an awful 1/9 shooting from the floor. Even Stephen Curry did not have a very efficient night by his lofty standards, scoring 27 points on 8/20 shooting from the floor. Klay Thompson came off the bench and shot just 6/15 for 18 points.
Still, the Warriors need to see Wiggins do better going forward. Over his last three games, he averaged just 13.3 points on a poor 36.8 field goal percentage.
