Wiggins grew up in Canada before attending his last two years of high school in the United States, where he was named a McDonald's All-American. At Kansas, he was named a second-team consensus All-American before becoming the second Canadian to be selected No. 1 overall in an NBA draft. After a preseason trade to the Minnesota Timberwolves, Wiggins earned NBA Rookie of the Year honors for the 2014–15 season. After five-and-a-half seasons with Minnesota, he was traded to Golden State in 2020. In 2022, Wiggins won his first NBA championship and was selected for his first NBA All-Star game, and was named a Western Conference starter. He has also been a member of the Canadian national team.
Wiggins began playing organized basketball when he was nine, joining an under-10 team in Toronto.[11] At the time, he was 5 ft 7 in (1.70 m). He dunked a basketball for the first time when he was 13, and a year later, he grew to 6 ft 6 in (1.98 m) and shattered a glass backboard after dunking on a rim at the Dufferin Clark Community Centre in Vaughan.[11]
Wiggins attended Vaughan Secondary School in Vaughan for his first two years of high school. In his 2010–11 sophomore year, he led the school's AAAA basketball team to a 44–1 record, en route to winning the Ontario provincial championship.[12][13] In the championship game, he scored 25 points and grabbed 13 rebounds, amid chants of "Over-rated!" from the crowd.[13]
In 2011, he transferred to Huntington Prep School in Huntington, West Virginia. During his junior season, he averaged 24.2 points, 8.5 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 2.7 blocks per game. As a senior, he averaged 23.4 points, 11.2 rebounds, 2.6 blocks and 2.5 assists per game.[14]
Wiggins had been rated as the top prospect for 2014, but announced in October 2012 that he would officially reclassify into his original high school class of 2013,[15] after having repeated a grade in middle school.[16] He needed just one remaining credit in English to graduate from Huntington Prep.[17] He was immediately placed ahead of the previous number one prospect, Jabari Parker, by ESPN.[15]
On February 7, 2013, after an article in Sports Illustrated criticized Canadian basketball and Wiggins' work ethic,[18] he responded later that day, scoring 57 points in a 111–59 win over Marietta College.[19]
Wiggins committed to Kansas on May 14, 2013.[27] Before the announcement, he had narrowed his choices to Florida State, Kentucky, Kansas and North Carolina.[28] Wiggins joined the Kansas team on June 19, 2013.[4]
On January 13, 2014, Wiggins scored 17 points and collected 19 rebounds in a 77–70 victory over Iowa State, becoming only the second freshman in the last 15 years (along with Michael Kidd-Gilchrist) to amass those numbers in a win against a ranked opponent.[29]
Wiggins declared for the 2014 NBA draft on March 31, 2014.[36] He was selected first overall in the draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers on June 26, 2014,[8] becoming just the second Canadian picked number one in the draft, after Anthony Bennett, who had been selected first overall one year prior in the 2013 NBA draft, also by Cleveland.[37] On August 23, a three-team trade was completed involving the Cavaliers, the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Philadelphia 76ers. As part of the deal, Wiggins and Bennett were traded to the Wolves, along with Thaddeus Young, then of the Sixers. The Cavaliers received Kevin Love from Minnesota, while the Sixers received Luc Mbah a Moute and Alexey Shved from Minnesota and a 2015 first-round draft pick from Cleveland.[38] Wiggins became just the second player since the ABA–NBA merger to be drafted as the number one pick, only to be traded afterwards without playing a single game for the team he was originally selected for; Chris Webber was the first following the 1993 draft.[39]

On October 24, 2018, Wiggins was inactive for only the second time in his career, sitting out the Timberwolves' loss to the Toronto Raptors because of a bruised right quadriceps. The last time Wiggins was inactive was November 10, 2015, when he sat out a loss to the Charlotte Hornets because of a sore right knee.[62] Wiggins returned to action on October 31 against the Utah Jazz after missing three games.[63] He struggled early in the season, culminating in an 0-for-12 shooting night on November 24 against the Chicago Bulls.[64][65] It was the first time in his career he finished a game scoreless.[65] On December 23, he scored 30 points and hit the go-ahead layup with 14 seconds remaining to help the Timberwolves defeat the Oklahoma City Thunder 114–112.[66] He topped that total with 31 points on January 2 against the Boston Celtics.[67] On January 6, he scored 25 of his 28 points in the first half of the Timberwolves' 108–86 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.[68] Two days later, he had a season-high 40 points and 10 rebounds in a 119–117 win over the Thunder.[69] On January 18 against the San Antonio Spurs, Wiggins passed Sam Mitchell (7,161) for second place on the franchise's career scoring list.[70] On January 27, he scored a game-high 35 points in a 125–111 loss to the Jazz.[71]
