Minnesota Timberwolves forward Andrew Wiggins said he didn't mean any disrespect after calling Oklahoma City Thunder guard Dennis Schroder "gay."
Wiggins called Schroder that slur after Minnesota beat Oklahoma City 119–117 on Tuesday.
"I don't know what's wrong with him. Uh, he was just gay. He was acting crazy for no reason," Wiggins, who finished with 40 points and 10 rebounds, said. "I look right through him. He's not someone I look at as a problem. Not at all."
Wiggins quickly tried to explain his comments after the game.
Schroder was apparently mad about the way some Timberwolves players were laughing when Thunder center Nerlens Noel left the game on stretcher after a head injury trying to defend a Wiggins dunk attempt.
