An earlier report by Darren Wolfson of ESPN 1500 noted Andrew Wiggins was “unhappy” being the third option behind Jimmy Butler and Karl-Anthony Towns, but the fourth-year guard shut down any notion of truth to those whispers.

“It's just someone's word of mouth. It wasn't no quote from me,” said Wiggins, according to Jerry Zogda of The Minnesota Star Tribune. “Everyone that knows me knows I don't talk much, I just go with the flow… I don't whisper. If I say something, I'm going to say it clearly and loudly.”

The rumor was part of a radio conversation, which noted Wiggins had whispered to teammates about his unhappiness after the team added All-Star Jimmy Butler, who became the de-facto leader of this team.

Wiggins had improved every season since coming into the league, but his scoring average has dipped considerably, more than five points below his career-high mark of 23.6 points per game last season.

Head coach Tom Thibodeau echoed Wiggins' sentiment, noting there is no truth to the rumor, calling the claim and its sourcing “total nonsense.”

“I know Andrew's character. There's no way in the world Andrew is saying any of that, particularly from a guy who's taken the most shots on our team.”

Wiggins might be taking the most shots on the team (only a hair more than Butler), but he has also proved the least efficient in this starting lineup, shooting 44.2 percent from the field and 32.5 percent from deep — both marks a dip from his best season in 2016-17.

Both Butler and Towns are having All-Star-caliber seasons and played a huge role in putting Minnesota into the playoffs, and with the Timberwolves committing $148 million over the next five seasons — there is no way Wiggins is likely to go anywhere in the near future.
