There was lots of expectations for the eldest Wiggins coming into the NBA and when he did play for the most part he wasn’t a complete disappointment. He didn’t miss a single game in his first 2 seasons, went to the NBA Finals in 85-86 and played an intricate role on the 89-90 Houston Rockets averaging 15 and a half points per game. But in the midst of living out his life long dream he encountered a few bumps in the road that change his career forever. Most notable was him being banned from the NBA for 2 and a half years for testing positive for cocaine use. In 1986 the Houston Rockets challenged the almighty 67 win Boston Celtics, who were on the brink of winning their 3rd NBA title in 5 years. Houston were no slouch themselves winning 51 games and had one of their best teams in years. They lost to the Celtics 4-2 and later that year Wiggins and his teammate Lewis Lloyd, whom he challenged for playing time regularly, tested positive for substance use and early 1987 the pair were banned from the league for life, but reinstated before the 89-90 season. Other than that upcoming year, Wiggins completely fell off his NBA journey and was out of the league by 91-92 at 32 years old, only playing 6 of the 9 seasons he was technically in the league. His story usually goes untold and turned out to be one of the better teachable stories of how he stuck around the game and despite his troubles, raised 6 children who became successful in their own rite.
