Aaron Wiggins News, Rumors, Updates - Oklahoma City Thunder

Back to second unit Wiggins will come off the bench for Tuesday's game against the Kings, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Impact This is an expected move, as the Thunder have activated Jalen Williams and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Wiggins was sensational Sunday against the Hornets, logging 26 points (11-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, five assists and six steals across 36 minutes.

Scores season-high 26 points Wiggins finished Sunday's 121-118 victory over the Hornets with 26 points (11-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, five assists and six steals across 36 minutes.

Impact Wiggins moved to the starting lineup due to the absences of Gordon Hayward (leg) and Jalen Williams (ankle), and he took advantage of the opportunity while putting up his best scoring mark of the campaign. Wiggins has started four times over the Thunder's last seven games and has scored in double digits in each of those contests, so don't rule out him staying in the first unit if Williams and Hayward are unable to return to face the Kings on Tuesday.

Returns to starting lineup Wiggins will start Sunday versus Charlotte.

Impact Wiggins will run with the first unit while Gordon Hayward (leg) and Jalen Williams (ankle) are inactive, with Isaiah Joe coming off the bench. Wiggins will be flanked by Josh Giddey, Cason Wallace, Luguentz Dort and Chet Holmgren in Sunday's starting lineup.

Not starting against Indiana Wiggins isn't starting Friday's game against the Pacers, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Impact Wiggins drew starts in three of his last four appearances, but he'll retreat to the bench Friday since Gordon Hayward will take on a starting role. Wiggins has averaged 6.2 points and 2.3 rebounds in 14.6 minutes per game over 69 appearances off the bench this season, but he could maintain increased playing time Friday since Jalen Williams (ankle) remains out.

Posts 15 points in starting lineup Wiggins notched 15 points (5-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, three steals, one assist and one block over 32 minutes in Tuesday's 109-105 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact Wiggins got the starting nod with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) and Jalen Williams (ankle) inactive, leading all players in Tuesday's contest with a trio of steals to go along with ending as one of three Thunder players with 15 or more points in a losing effort. Wiggins has started in two games this year, both of which have taken place over the last three contests, posting at least 15 points and four rebounds in both of those outings. Wiggins has swiped three or more steals in four games, his first as a starter.

Starting against 76ers Wiggins will start Tuesday's game against the 76ers, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.

Impact The Thunder are without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) and Jalen Williams (ankle), so Wiggins is likely plenty of minutes and usage. The Thunder could also utilize Cason Wallace and Isaiah Joe a bit more with their two leading scorers sidelined.

Starting Friday Wiggins will start at shooting gaurd in Friday's game versus the Suns, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Impact The Thunder will opt to shake things up in their backcourt by replacing Cason Wallace with Wiggins. It will be the 25-year-old's first start this season.

Decrease in playing time Wiggins accumulated four points (2-3 FG), three rebounds and one assist over 12 minutes in the Thunder's 132-118 loss to the Spurs on Thursday.

Impact The 25-year-old has proved to be a spark off the bench, averaging 7.9 points and 2.6 rebounds in 17.6 minutes in February. However, since Gordon Hayward has made his way into the rotation, Wiggins has seen a steady decrease in minutes, going from 20.3 per game in the first two weeks of February to just 14.4 in the last five games with Hayward. Expect Wiggins to receive less playing time buried behind Hayward and Luguentz Dort in the rotation.

Wiggins was among the most impactful, joining Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (31 points), Chet Holmgren (16 points), Cason Wallace (12 points) and Ousmane Dieng (11 points) with double-digit scoring Friday.

Another double-digit outing Wiggins chipped in 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt), five rebounds and one steal in 23 minutes during Monday's 136-128 win over Washington.

Impact Wiggins scored in double figures just three times through the Thunder's first 32 games, but he's reached that feat in two of the team's last three matchups. The 2021 second-round pick is averaging career lows across the board this season, but he's been efficient when given a chance, shooting 60.4 percent from the field and 48.6 percent from deep.

Impact The Thunder emptied their bench after the game got our of hand, giving Wiggins some time on the court. After an adequate second season with the Thunder, Wiggins' production was expected to take an upward turn, but that hasn't come to pass. He's currently only averaging 10.8 minutes per game and is trapped behind Josh Giddey and Cason Wallace on the depth chart.
