Lindell Wigginton News, Rumors, Updates - Milwaukee Bucks

Waived by Milwaukee Wigginton was waived by Milwaukee on Sunday

Impact Wigginton and Marques Bolden were both waived Sunday, opening up two of Milwaukee's two-way roster spots while leaving TyTy Washington as the lone remaining two-way occupant. Wigginton has been with the Bucks' organization since 2021-22 after graduating from Iowa, making him a strong candidate to sign a deal with Milwaukee's G League affiliate barring another opportunity.

Paces Herd in points Wigginton notched 21 points (7-14 FG, 2-6 3PT, 4-5 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 29 minutes of Thursday's 137-108 loss to Motor City.

Impact While Wisconsin found themselves on the wrong end of a blowout, Wigginton managed to produce a strong stat line. He led the Herd in points and failed to record a single turnover in the contest.

Won't play Friday Wigginton won't play in Friday's Summer League game against the Nuggets due to an undisclosed reason, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Impact AJ Green (undisclosed) will also be unavailable, but it's possible both players are simply resting the first half of a back-to-back set and will be available for Saturday's game against the Suns in Las Vegas. If available, Wigginton, who starred for the Wisconsin Herd in the G League last year, should have a sizable role for Milwaukee's Summer League squad.

Starting Friday Wigginton is starting at point guard for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact The Bucks are opting to rest all their regular starters and some role players, so Wigginton will be a prime beneficiary. As a result, look for him to see a healthy workload.

Waived by Milwaukee Wigginton was waived by the Bucks on Saturday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Impact Wigginton saw action in five preseason games and averaged 6.0 points, 2.0 assists and 1.6 rebounds in 11.9 minutes, but it wasn't enough to secure a final roster spot. There's a strong chance he ends up in the G League.

Sniffs double-double in 40 minutes Wigginton posted 18 points (7-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-6 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 40 minutes during Sunday's 133-115 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact The Iowa State product enjoyed his best game in the big leagues after toiling in the G League for most of the season. He's seen action in 19 games with the Bucks, and it's doubtful that he'll be involved in the team's playoff effort.

APRIL 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from G League Wigginton was recalled from the G League and is available for Thursday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Wigginton could get back in the rotation with Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and Khris Middleton (wrist) sidelined. In his 15 appearances, he's averaged 3.1 points and 1.1 rebounds in 8.1 minutes.

MARCH 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Listed out again Wigginton (ankle) is listed as out on the Bucks' injury report ahead of Monday's game at Utah.

Impact This will be the third straight absence for Wigginton due to a sprained right ankle. He's earned some run off the bench in recent weeks, but Wigginton is not on the fantasy radar.

MARCH 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out Saturday Wigginton (ankle) is out Saturday against the Warriors.

Impact Wigginton will miss a second consecutive contest due to a sprained right ankle. His absence won't affect much, as he's a fringe rotation option when the Bucks are near full health.

MARCH 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out Wednesday Wigginton (ankle) won't play Wednesday against the Hawks, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Impact Wigginton was considered doubtful for Wednesday's contest due to a sprained right ankle, so it's not much of a surprise he'll be sitting out the second half of the back-to-back set. Jevon Carter and DeAndre' Bembry should continue to operate as Milwaukee's depth guards with George Hill (neck) and Pat Connaughton (finger) also still sidelined.

MARCH 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Wednesday Wigginton is doubtful for Wednesday's game against Atlanta due to a right ankle sprain.

Impact Wigginton rejoined the parent club after the All-Star break, but he hasn't had a significant role for Milwaukee. His likely absence won't impact the team's rotation.

MARCH 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Moved back to G League The Bucks transferred Wigginton to the G League's Wisconsin Herd on Wednesday.

Impact Wigginton played in each of Milwaukee's previous four contests before the All-Star break, averaging 7.5 points and 1.3 three-pointers across 19.8 minutes per game. He recorded 30 points (12-22 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven assists, six rebounds, two blocks and a steal for the Herd in Wednesday's G League loss to Motor City. Wigginton is on a two-way contract with the Bucks and is likely to see more NBA time this season.

FEBRUARY 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Drops career-high 12 points Wigginton posted 12 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-3 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 128-119 victory over Indiana.

Impact Wigginton had the best game of his young career, playing meaningful minutes in the victory. With Grayson Allen (hip) unable to finish the game, the Bucks turned to their young point guard as a secondary ball-handling option. This is unlikely to turn into much, but for anyone looking to stream some guard numbers, he could be an option in deeper formats, but only if Allen is forced to the sideline.

FEBRUARY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Placed in protocols Wigginton has entered the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols and is listed as out for Wednesday's game in Cleveland.

Impact One of Milwaukee's two two-way players, Wigginton hasn't been included in the rotation since signing with the Bucks earlier this month. Since logging five minutes in his NBA debut Jan. 13 in a blowout win over the Warriors, Wigginton hasn't played in any of the Bucks' last five games.

JANUARY 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lands two-way deal Wigginton signed a two-way contract with the Bucks on Thursday, Jake Fischer of BleacherReport.com reports.

Impact Wigginton began the season with the G League's Wisconsin Herd, and he had plenty of playing time. Across the first three games of the G League regular season, the 23-year-old averaged 18.3 points, 7.3 assists and 5.7 rebounds in 37.2 minutes per game. He hasn't yet made his NBA debut, although he's unlikely to have as much prominence with the parent club. However, Wigginton's new contract will give the team more flexibility to shuffle him between the Bucks and the Herd.
