Andrew Wiggins said he still wishes he hadn't gotten vaccinated against COVID-19, despite a season in which he was named to his first All-Star team and helped the warriors win the NBA championship.
Unlike Irving, Wiggins did get vaccinated before the start of the NBA season.
"I did it, and I was an All-Star this year and champion, so that was the good part, just not missing out on the year, the best year of my career," Wiggins said."But for my body, I just don't like putting all that stuff in my body, so I didn't like that and I didn't like that it wasn't my choice. I didn't like that it was either get this or don't play."
Wiggins, 27, is heading into the final season of his $147 million rookie extension from 2017 with theand is up for a contract extension before becoming a free agent next offseason. "I would love to stay here," Wiggins said at the Warriors' exit interviews in June."Being here, this is top-notch. The way they treat the players ... we're all one big family. I feel like a lot of places may say that, but they show it through their actions."
