Wiggins Out for Personal Reasons The Sequel

Here. We. Go. Again.

Silver lining we get some minutes for Moody lol.
I was right about 3 point shooting. I expect to be right about Tacko Fall. Some coach will figure out how to use Tacko Fall. This movement towards undersized centers will sweep ng back. Back to the basket scorers will return to the NBA.

Is it going to be more than a game? Might this thread be a slight overreaction?

Hope all is well with Wiggins and his family.

As for the rotation, I'm worried this means Klay jumps right back into the lineup. To me the better options are to keep Klay in his bench role and either 1) just give Moody the Wiggins role for the game, or 2) Start Trayce or Loon and tell Dray he's gotta let the 3's fly

On December 1st, Wiggs slammed his finger in his car door(lol).

On December 2nd Moody played 32 minutes and went for 21 pts 5 rbs 2 asts 2 stls

I swear Wiggs is the consummate team player(and he loves taking days off). Clearly they tell him to take time off when they want to get other players in the rotation and Wiggs is never threatened by it now that he got his contract.

Prepare for Moody UNLEASHED!!!

I doubt it. Q & JK need more minutes, and Klay wants to start again.

Too much is being made of the fact that the absence is for "personal reasons." It's not like that. Wiggins isn't Generation Z. A Generation Z employee would be requesting time off to take his emotional support guinea pig to therapy. :D

He literally was out for "personal reasons" for like 3 months last season.

Yes. But, wasn't the story there that it had something to do with a serious illness in Wiggins' family? He's not like Ben Simmons, who missed an entire season because he was psychically bruised. :D

Yeah, especially since it's one game, and against the Wizards at that. Wiggins has been playing well, but we should easily take care of the Wizards without him. Moody needs some playing time, so this should be fine. Let's not assume the worst!

Why should NBA players be immune from GenZ attitudes. I think Wiggins is GenZ, older GenZ but still GenZ.

Sounds like moody might get a few more games as starter to prove his worth to kerr. Luckily the next 2 should also be very winnable.
