It has been an absolute honor to wear this jersey, represent this organization, and compete alongside such an incredible group of teammates and coaches,” Wiggins said in an Instagram post. “From the moment I arrived, I felt embraced by the Bay Area and the entire Warriors family, and that support has meant the world to me. Winning a championship in 2022, and growing both on and off the court in this environment is something I will always cherish.

“To my teammates, the coaching staff, the front office, and the incredible fans who have been with me every step of the way thank you from the bottom of my heart. The Bay will always be home.
