Like many NBA players, Andrew Wiggins is in Los Angeles this summer working out, practicing against other elite talent, and generally enjoying the summer in the unofficial off-season destination for NBA players.
Wiggins, however, got burglarized — including having his rented SUV stolen. TMZ had the story.Former No. 1 overall pick Andrew Wiggins was burglarized in Los Angeles ... and TMZ Sports has learned the thieves made off with the NBA star’s shoes and luggage...
But, we’re told cops described the scene as “amateur hour” ... because the burglars left jewelry and other valuables in the heist, and only took about $1,000 worth of the stuff instead.
We’re told the thieves stole a pair of Wiggins’ casual Nikes and his luggage -- and also made off with his rental SUV Escalade. But, we’re told authorities were able to locate the vehicle a short time later.
While the car was found, his shoes and luggage have not been, and there have yet to be any arrests. As anyone who has been burglarized can tell you (*raises hand*) the items stolen are rarely recovered and returned, that stuff tends to be in the wind.
With Jimmy Butler gone, Minnesota heads into this season trying to highlight Karl-Anthony Towns and find a second star to go next to him (they went hard after D’Angelo Russell this summer but did not get him). Wiggins has not been that guy as the Timberwolves had hoped, but with his massive max contract that still has four years remaining Wiggins is nearly impossible to trade. That leaves Ryan Saunders with the task of finding out how to get as much as he can out of Wiggins nightly.
