Andrew Wiggins will miss Friday’s Timberwolves game against Washington as he deals with a personal matter, the Star Tribune has learned.
Wiggins traveled to Toronto to be with family members after the recent death of his grandmother, which Wiggins’ brother Nick mentioned Thursday on Twitter.
In the tweet, Nick Wiggins thanked his professional team in Brazil for allowing him to miss time to visit family and said that his grandmother had died.
Andrew Wiggins’ status for Saturday’s home game against Houston is unclear.
Wiggins has been playing some of the best basketball of his career of late.
