Thunder's Aaron Wiggins: Reaches 20 minutes in return
Rotowire
Wiggins (adductor) tallied five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four assists, one rebound and one steal across 20 minutes in Sunday's 123-115 win over the Trail Blazers.
Wiggins was cleared to play for the first time since Nov. 5 after missing the Thunder's previous 11 contests with a left adductor strain. He was one of seven players in the Thunder's 10-man rotation to reach the 20-minute mark Sunday, but Wiggins could be at risk of seeing his playing time take a hit once Alex Caruso (quadriceps) and Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) are back in the mix.

Thunder's Aaron Wiggins: Excels during team's first loss
Rotowire
Wiggins accumulated 27 points (10-19 FG, 7-10 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and three steals over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 121-119 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Wiggins occupied a spot in the starting lineup with a host of Thunder players out with injury, and he took advantage of the opportunity with a masterful stat line. Wiggins has recorded five starts across his first nine games, and he's come in handy while the team awaits Jalen Williams' (wrist) eventual debut. The recent injuries affecting Luguentz Dort (shoulder) and Chet Holmgren (back) will only raise Wiggins' upside, as he is versatile enough to fill almost any role needed in the first unit.

Thunder's Aaron Wiggins: Goes for 23 points in start
Rotowire
Wiggins accumulated 23 points (7-14 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds and one block over 36 minutes during Thursday's 141-135 double-overtime win over the Pacers.
Wiggins replaced Cason Wallace (knee) in the starting lineup and definitely made the most of his opportunity. Coming off an impressive 2024-25 campaign, Wiggins is looking to cement himself as a key piece for the Thunder moving forward. Expect him to shift back to the bench when Wallace is cleared to return, somewhat limiting his playing time. However, he should play a meaningful role, even when coming off the bench, making him a viable streaming option on most nights.
