Hawks' Aaron Wiggins: Solid display off bench Friday
Rotowire
Wiggins delivered 19 points (6-13 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds and two assists across 22 minutes in Friday's 135-111 preseason win over the Mavericks.
Wiggins provided a significant offensive boost off Atlanta's bench, finishing as the team's third-leading scorer while connecting on four three-pointers. The forward also collected seven rebounds, the second-highest total on the team behind Jalen Johnson's 14, and posted an impressive plus-33 rating in just 22 minutes. Wiggins' scoring versatility and rebounding ability could make him a useful fantasy contributor if he earns consistent playing time.

Hawks' Aaron Wiggins: Provides scoring punch off bench
Rotowire
Wiggins finished with 13 points (4-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, an assist and two steals across 20 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 119-117 preseason win over the Pacers.
Wiggins provided an efficient scoring contribution off the bench, knocking down three three-pointers while also contributing defensively with two steals, factors that contributed to a team-high plus-13. His combination of perimeter shooting and defensive activity will secure him a consistent role in Atlanta's rotation, but his role off the bench will limit his upside a bit.

Hawks' Aaron Wiggins: Back to bench role

Wiggins is not in the starting lineup in Saturday's preseason game against the Pacers, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Wiggins won't start after doing so in Thursday's contest, but he could still get minutes off the bench. The 27-year-old is expected to be a bench option at both forward spots once the regular season starts, and he'll move back to the bench here since Jalen Johnson is back in the starting lineup.

Hawks' Aaron Wiggins: Headed to Atlanta
Rotowire
The Hawks acquired Wiggins from the Thunder on Sunday in exchange for 2030 and 2032 second-round draft picks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
The No. 55 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, Wiggins has spent the first five seasons of his career in Oklahoma City. The 27-year-old showed signs of promise during his tenure in Oklahoma City, but the Thunder's bevy of talent often resulted in him seeing inconsistent playing time. During the 2025-26 campaign, Wiggins posted averages of 9.4 points, 3.1 assists, 1.7 assists, 1.5 three-pointers and 0.9 steals in 21.8 minutes per contest over 65 regular-season appearances. Wiggins should have a chance at capturing a more sizable role in Atlanta, especially if the Hawks choose not to exercise Jonathan Kuminga's $24.3 million team option for the upcoming season.

Thunder's Aaron Wiggins: DNP in Game 7 loss
Rotowire
Wiggins did not play in the Thunder's 111-103 loss to the Spurs in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals.
Wiggins started in 21 of 65 regular-season games and averaged 9.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.5 threes and 0.9 steals over 21.8 minutes per contest. However, his role diminished in the postseason, and he failed to crack 10-plus minutes in eight of the Thunder's 11 playoff games, including four DNPs. Wiggins is under contract with the Thunder for the next three seasons, with a club option for 2028-29.

Thunder's Aaron Wiggins: Gets another start Friday
Rotowire
Wiggins ended with 13 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and three steals across 25 minutes during Friday's 127-107 loss to the Nuggets.
The Thunder were down most of their routine starters, so Wiggins entered the starting lineup for the first time since the 121-92 win over Brooklyn on March 18. With Oklahoma City getting ready for what the team hopes will be another deep postseason push, Wiggins might see more action until the end of the regular season. However, the 27-year-old likely won't receive as many scoring opportunities or stable playing time during the playoffs, assuming everyone on the roster can stay healthy.

Thunder's Aaron Wiggins: Chips in 17 points in win
Rotowire

Wiggins drew the start for Wednesday's game due to the absence of Isaiah Hartenstein (calf). The former was quiet in the first half but came alive out of halftime, scoring 13 of his 17 points in the third quarter. It was Wiggins' first game of double-digit points since March 3 against the Bulls and his third in 14 games since the All-Star break, all of which were games he started in.

Thunder's Aaron Wiggins: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Wiggins is questionable to play Sunday versus the Raptors due to a right hip impingement.
Wiggins has missed the past two games with a sore right groin, but now his injury has been updated to a hip impingement. We'll have a better idea on Wiggins' status based on his activity level at Sunday's shootaround, but if he's forced to spend another game on the inactive list, Cason Wallace and Isaiah Joe would be asked to pick up the slack.
