"What he's dealing with, is some real (expletive)," the unknown teammate told The Athletic's Marcus Thompson II.

Everyone outside wants to know what's going on with Wiggins, but the team and the player remain silent. Teammates instead show support for Wiggins.

"Friend to friend, teammate to teammate, just sending him support. It's a tough situation in terms of him being away for so long, but necessary," Curry said.

"Life is bigger than basketball. Whatever him and his family are going through, that's all that matters. Whenever he's ready to come back, I'm sure he will. That's how he's built in terms of being available. I know he's missing the vibe and being with us and we miss him too."

Such a long absence without reason is unprecedented.

GSW's Wednesday 134-126 loss against the Los Angeles Clippers is the 13th consecutive game that Wiggins misses. He has been out since Feb. 14.

He averages 17.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.3 assists over 37 starts this season.

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr told reporters before Golden State's 125-116 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday at Chase Center that the team is hopeful Wiggins can return this season, but will continue to give him space and did not provide any further update.

General manager Bob Myers provided his thoughts too.

"Nothing different than before. Same answer. We got to respect him, his life, and his privacy."
