The Golden State Warriors have agreed to terms with star wing Andrew Wiggins on a four-year extension worth $109 million. Wiggins joins Jordan Poole with a four-year extension from the Warriors. They both agreed to terms on the same day and just before the 2022-23 NBA season begins. Wiggins was a major piece in the Golden State Warriors’ run in the 2022 NBA Playoffs that ended with them winning the NBA Championship. The team’s title window is closing and they would like to win at least one more before it does.
Andrew Wiggins is taking a salary cut on a four-year, $109 million extension to stay with the Warriors. He’s making $33.6 million this season. It’ll drop to $24.3 million, $26.3 million in first/second year of new deal. Warriors gave him player option in final year of extension.

The Golden State Warriors have certainly paid in an attempt to keep their title window open for as long as they can. Andrew Wiggins along with Jordan Poole could one day be the faces of the franchise. Wiggins is just 27 years old and could have plenty of elite basketball ahead of him and the Warriors are betting on that outcome.
