On June 28, according to renowned journalist Doug Smith, Wiggins will withdraw from the Canadian men’s basketball team and sit out the Paris Olympics.
Doug Smith stated, “The Warriors have taken a hard line with their veteran they’re preparing to trade, and they’re actively seeking a deal. Canada’s camp officially tips off later tonight.”
Subsequently, Warriors beat reporter Slater reported that this decision was made jointly by Wiggins and the Warriors, considering Wiggins’ health concerns (ankle issues).
