勇士隊記者談到Andrew Wiggins，他表示這是勇士球團與Andrew Wiggins球員共同為了健康做出的決定，但並不排除因為要保持健康，為了就是尋求交易發生，Andrew Wiggins未來與球隊還有3年8500萬美金的合約。
Mutual decision between the Warriors and Andrew Wiggins to prioritize his health and hold him out of Olympics, I’m told. Doesn’t preclude GSW from possibly trading him, but it’s a medical decision. Wiggins dealt with an ankle issue late this past season. https://t.co/W3jyDMY8Y1

而加拿大籃球記者談到Andrew Wiggins，他說加拿大團隊確認過他的健康程度可以出戰奧運，不過Wiggins對此不是非常開心。
Told this was 11th hour thing. Wiggins was insured & cleared medically by @CanBball but now very much on trade block & Dubs not havjng it. With Wiggins ankle injury last season and $85m on line, not hard for team doctor to find a reason. Wiggins not happy, but not many options. https://t.co/ZgUGRa1Tv8

國家隊高層Rowan Barrett和總教練Jordi Fernandez都強調Wiggins對勇士這個決定離開國家隊感到失望，Barrett說Wiggins非常認真想要參加奧運，因為自己的媽媽過去也曾經參加過奧運會。
Rowan Barrett and Jordi Fernandez both emphasized how disappointed Wiggins was when Warriors made the move to ‘pull him’ from national team. Barrett said Wiggins had been training hard, was looking forward to following in his Mom’s footsteps as an Olympian. 1/
