The Golden State Warriors and Andrew Wiggins have agreed to a four-year, $109 million contract, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Kendra Andrews reported Saturday.

“Reporting with Kendra Andrews: Golden State Warriors All-Star Andrew Wiggins has agreed to a four-year, $109 million extension, his agents Drew Morrison and Steven Heumann of CAA Sports tell ESPN. Wiggins is now tied to the Warriors for five-years, $143 million,” Wojnarowski wrote in a tweet.
Though the final implications of the extension remain to be seen, the move would seem to foretell the end of All-Star forward Draymond Green’s time in Golden State, even without considering his recent punching of teammate Jordan Poole, who himself recently signed his own massive extension with the franchise.
Wiggins was the No. 1 overall pick of the 2014 NBA draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers. However, the Cavs promptly sent him to the Minnesota Timberwolves as part of a three-team trade that included the Philadelphia 76ers. The Wolves traded Wiggins to the Warriors in February 2020. He earned the first All-Star selection of his career in 2021 after averaging 17 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game.
The Wiggins and the Warriors tip off their 2022-23 campaign on Tuesday, Oct. 18th, by hosting the Los Angeles Lakers. The Warriors are 14-point favorites.
