According to CBS they don't expect Wiggins back this year.

Has there been any info as to what exactly is going on with him?

I haven't seen anything except for personal family reasons. Must be really serious for this type of absence.

It is a very serious family issue. That is all I have seen.
Warriors uncertain if Andrew Wiggins will play again this season due to personal matter

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Ja Morant is receiving counseling in Florida and remains without a timeline for return.
On March 8, it was reported that Morant would miss at least four more games as he attended to personal issues. While he was cleared of any criminal wrongdoing in connection with his displaying a gun during an Instagram Live video while in a Glendale, CO strip club, there is more work to be done before the All-Star guard is back on the court. He is without a timeline for return, which means Tyus Jones will be a key player for fantasy managers looking to make a run in their league playoffs.
Another ESPN source doesn't think he will play again this year.

Tatum is so inconsistent. Had to laugh at that missed layup to send it to OT. Couldn't imagine a contender losing to Houston especially without their best player (Sengun).

What kind of counseling could they be making Ja do? He made some poor choices -- that means he needs counseling?

Surprised Shotgun Willie's is still in business. That's a hell of a run.
Raise your hand if you ever posted up there (without a gun).

"Waiving guns around is bad . . . mmmmk"

And beating up teenagers and threatening retail employees and mall security guards and pointing a gun at the opposing team bus and having such an issue with late night escapades that the team essentially had an intervention the day before he flashed a gun on Instagram at a strip club. All of these issues likely directly cost him $40m...
Counseling could mean a lot of things, but I think it's clear that he needs some help to make good decisions. A lot of the discourse around him has been exclusively about waving a gun on Instagram and just being a young guy making some bad decisions - threatening somebody with a gun multiple times and beating somebody so bad that they went to the hospital is not run of the mill dumb young person stuff.

And he obviously has a problem comprehending this. So let's not get him help? This isn't difficult.

Don't think about this like Ja is laying down on a couch with some old white dude in a tweed jacket trying to analyze him as I am pretty sure it is not that type of counseling.
My guess is that they are having Ja talk in depth with any of an endless list of athletes who made bad choices that eventually hurt their career or even destroyed their lives.

He might talk to former athletes but it seems incredibly likely that he will talk to a mental health professional. That’s quite common in sports today.

I think he is meeting with Silver, not the players association
TLEF316

Looks like that's what woj is reporting. I just know he was at the players association offices (they're downstairs in my building).
It's possible he met with the PA first to get his ducks in a row before going over to meet with Silver.
Or silver came over here for the meeting.

Looks like he gets 8 games, per Shams. He has already missed 5

That seems very liberal to put it nicely.

I don't get why they suspend a guy after he's already taken time away. Is it crazy to think that these things can be done concurrently?

Seriously, the NBA went soft here. Dude should be out for 25+ games.
the moops
Footballguy
I think it is concurrent. 8 games, 5 already served
the moops
Footballguy
They couldn’t prove that he brought the gun on the plane or that it was actually his gun. 25+ sounds ridiculous for just waiving a gun around in a state where it is legal to do so.
msudaisy26
Footballguy
I understand it isn't illegal, but this is where the NBA should have said "This is our league and it is a privilege to be apart of it in any capacity. We respect everyone's right to own a gun, but we will not allow anyone affiliated with our league to do so in a irresponsible and careless manner" and then handed out 20 plus games.
msudaisy26

That is offensive to everyone. Anyone waiving a gun around is scary.

Delonte West was detained after he cut off a police car on the Capital Beltway while speeding on his three-wheel motorcycle. Officers found two loaded handguns, a shotgun, and a Bowie knife on his person.
All that **** was illegal. He pled guilty. The NBA suspended him for 10 games.

This IS the NBA.
The league can behave like it's 19th century Wimbledon over here, but that video, by itself, is no big deal.
I think most likely the NBA is going to say to him, in so many words, get your crew under control, if we hear one more gangsta-lite story, it's gonna cost you millions. We don't need you, you need us.

His suspension should have been longer. I honestly don't remember that story, but was there leniency because of his mental illness and he plead guilty?

If I'm the Sixers or C's, I'm tanking to that 3 spot. Nets are a hilariously easy 1st round matchup (assuming they stick there, of course).
msudaisy26

That never works out how we think it will. Everyone was dying to get the number 1 spot two years ago and the Hawks took out the 76ers, last year everyone had to avoid the Nets and then the Celtics swept them.

Any reports on what is going on with Andrew Wiggins?
