ANALYSIS
Wiggins put together one of his best performances of the season Wednesday against Portland but seemingly picked up an injury at some point along the way.

Excels during team's first loss
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.
ANALYSIS
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 he team awaits Jalen Williams' (wrist) eventual debut. The recent maladies affecting Luguentz Dort (shoulder) and Chet Holmgren (back) will only raise , as he is versatile enough to fill almost any role needed in the first unit.
Nov 5, 2025
Starting Wednesday
Wiggins is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins will make his fifth start of the campaign, stepping into the first unit while Chet Holmgren (back), Jalen Williams (wrist) and Luguentz Dort (shoulder) are out. In his four starts, Wiggins has averaged 16.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.8 blocks over 30 minutes.

Wiggins finished with 18 points (7-15 FG, 4-10 3Pt), six rebounds, six assists, three blocks and one steal across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 107-101 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins drew his second start of the season with Chet Holmgren (back) sidelined and delivered a strong showing, knocking down a team-high four three-pointers while filling up the stat sheet across multiple categories. The wing is a swiss army knife and glue guy that consistently steps up when called upon. Through five games this season, the 26-year-old is averaging 14.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 28.8 minutes per contest.
Oct 28, 2025

Oct 28, 2025
Notches 11 points in win
Wiggins accumulated 11 points (5-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists across 27 minutes during Monday's 101-94 victory over Dallas.
ANALYSIS

Oct 25, 2025
Retreating to bench Saturday

Oct 24, 2025
Goes for 23 points in start
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 23, 2025
Will start vs. Indiana
Wiggins will be in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Pacers, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins will be in the first five with Cason Wallace (knee) ruled out. Wiggins joins Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Luguentz Dort, Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein in the starting lineup.
Oct 14, 2025
Headed to bench
Wiggins will come off the bench for Tuesday's exhibition with the Bucks, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Alex Caruso back from their maintenance days, Wiggins will return to a reserve role Tuesday evening. With fewer minutes coming his way, he's a less attractive option in fantasy hoops.
Oct 12, 2025
Poor shooting night Saturday
Wiggins totaled six points (2-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes during Saturday's preseason loss to Indiana.
ANALYSIS
Despite the spot start, Wiggins struggled to find any rhythm on the offensive end. Coming off a productive outing in a win over the Hornets on Thursday, Saturday's performance was a bit of a letdown. With that said, he should be a consistent part of the rotation again this season, coming off what was the best season of his career.
Oct 11, 2025
Starting Saturday
Wiggins is in the starting lineup for Saturday's preseason game against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder has decided to rest some of their regulars, such as Luguentz Dort, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Alex Caruso, and that means Wiggins is one of the players who should see an expanded run. Wiggins was a regular off the bench for the Thunder in 2024-25 and should hold the same role in 2025-26.
Oct 10, 2025
Productive night from bench
Wiggins tallied 13 points (5-10 FG, 1-1 FT, 2-3 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists, three blocked shots and a steal across 22 minutes in Thursday's 122-116 preseason win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins will likely have a couple of starts in store while Chet Holmgren (shoulder) rides the pine in the preseason. Wiggins had a breakout year during his 2024-25 campaign, posting career-highs in points (12.0), rebounds (3.9) and assists (1.8). He also acted as a placeholder with the first unit for 26 games last season. Although the Thunder would prefer to keep him in the second unit, he's more than capable of stepping up if injuries begin to pile up.
Oct 9, 2025
Cleared to play vs. Hornets
Wiggins (rest) is available for Thursday's preseason game against the Hornets, Rylan Stiles of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins will be back on the floor for exhibition reps after missing Monday's preseason contest versus the Mavericks. The sharpshooter could draw a spot start at power forward in the absence of Chet Holmgren (shoulder), and Wiggins could be needed to soak up minutes in the second half as well once the rest of the starters' nights are finished.
Oct 6, 2025
Won't play Monday
Wiggins (rest) will not suit up for Monday's preseason game versus the Mavericks, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins is simply getting a rest day on the second leg of a back-to-back, preseason set, but he should be back in action for Thursday's exhibition versus Charlotte. Expect more burn for guys like Isaiah Joe and Cason Wallace with Wiggins watching from the sidelines Monday evening.
Oct 6, 2025
Leads Thunder in preseason win
Wiggins produced 23 points (10-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six assists, two rebounds and three turnovers across 25 minutes of Sunday's 135-114 preseason win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder were resting their usual starters Sunday, allowing Wiggins to start and soak up a ton of usage in this victory. The Thunder play again Monday, and they could look to give some other rotation players some maintenance. Wiggins figures to be a key player for the second unit this season.
Oct 5, 2025
Starting preseason opener
Wiggins will start Sunday's preseason game against the Hornets, James Plowright of CLTure.org reports.
ANALYSIS
With most of the Thunder's starters resting Sunday and Jalen Williams (wrist) likely out until Opening Night, Wiggins will start the preseason opener alongside Isaiah Joe, Nikola Topic, Jaylin Williams and Ousmane Dieng. Wiggins started 26 of his 76 regular-season appearances last year, averaging 22.9 minutes per game.
Jun 23, 2025
Quiet end to strong season
Wiggins ended Sunday's 103-91 win over the Pacers in Game 7 of the NBA Finals with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound over 12 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins went scoreless in Game 7, but the Thunder still emerged victorious to secure the championship. The 26-year-old had an up-and-down postseason, reaching double figures in five games while also being held scoreless in five others. He put together a solid regular season, posting career-best scoring numbers with averages of 12.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists while shooting 48.8 percent from the field and 38.3 percent from beyond the arc. Wiggins appeared in 76 regular-season games, making 26 starts and averaging 22.9 minutes per contest.
Apr 13, 2025
Scores 28 in win
Wiggins logged 28 points (8-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 10-10 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Sunday's 115-100 win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins was gifted the keys to the offense Sunday as the team rested most of their rotational players, and he didn't disappoint, producing game-highs in scoring and assists. Wiggins enters the playoffs in great form, averaging 26.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.7 steals in 34.4 minutes per contest over his last three outings.
Apr 12, 2025
Erupts for 35 in Friday's rout
Wiggins finished with a game-high 35 points (14-24 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Friday's 145-111 victory over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
With most of the Thunder's usual starters getting the night off ahead of the playoffs, Wiggins made his second straight start and turned the opportunity into his third performance of the season with 30 or more points. The 26-year-old forward might get one more start in OKC's regular-season finale Sunday against the Pelicans, which would make him an intriguing DFS option given that he's averaged 26.0 points, 6.0 boards, 2.5 assist, 2.5 threes and 1.5 steals over his first two starts this week.
Apr 10, 2025
Fills in with 17 points
Wiggins logged 17 points (8-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 125-112 win over Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins serves as the Thunder's top contributor when the injury big hits the team, and he'll likely take on an increased role as Oklahoma City rests its stars in the final week of he season. The Maryland product has been a mainstay with the second unit as well, averaging 11.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists over 74 appearances.
Apr 9, 2025
Will start vs. Phoenix
Wiggins will be in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Suns, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins will be a starter for the 24th time this season in Phoenix. The 25-year-old averages 13.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals per game in the first unit this season, shooting 48.4 percent from the floor and 39.4 percent from beyond the arc.
Apr 5, 2025
Modest numbers in return
Wiggins (hamstring) finished with eight points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds in 19 minutes Friday in the Thunder's 125-111 loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins was back in action after missing the Thunder's previous five contests due to right hamstring tendinopathy, but his return wasn't enough for the Thunder to extend their 11-game winning streak. The 26-year-old forward could see his playing time pick up if the Thunder hold out other key rotation players out for certain games over the final week of the regular season, but he may struggle to crack 20 minutes when Oklahoma City has all of its core pieces available.
Apr 3, 2025
Poised to return Friday
Wiggins (Achilles) has been cleared to play Friday against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins has missed OKC's last five matchups while on the mend from an Achilles injury but will make his return Friday.

ANALYSIS

Mar 30, 2025
Out against Bulls
Wiggins (Achilles) is out for Monday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS

Mar 28, 2025
Won't play Saturday
Wiggins (Achilles) is out for Saturday's game against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins will miss a third straight game due to a nagging Achilles problem. The Thunder are looking to be extremely cautious with Wiggins, as he plays a key role in the second unit, so they're not going to speed up his recovery process, especially since OKC already clinched a postseason berth. Wiggins' next chance to play will come against the Bulls on Monday.
Mar 26, 2025
Ruled out for Thursday
Wiggins (Achilles) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS

Mar 25, 2025
Ruled out Tuesday
Wiggins (Achilles) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins will miss Tuesday's contest due to left Achilles tendinitis, and his next chance to play will come Thursday against Memphis. Alex Caruso and Kenrich Williams will likely see an uptick in playing time due to Wiggins and Jalen Williams (hip) being sidelined.

Questionable against Sacramento
Wiggins (Achilles) has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins is coming off a 19-point performance in Sunday's win against the Clippers but now is in danger of missing Tuesday's game in Sacramento. Kenrich Williams will likely be tasked with shouldering the load if Wiggins can't play.

Back to bench
Wiggins will not start Sunday's game against the Clippers, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins will be back in a bench role Sunday with Luguentz Dort (hip) returning to the lineup and Alex Caruso taking Chet Holmgren's (hip) starting spot. In his last three games off the bench, Wiggins averaged 7.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 20.3 minutes per contest.
Mar 20, 2025
Excellent in spot start
Wiggins supplied 26 points (10-18 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds and six assists across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 133-100 victory over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
The absence of Luguentz Dort (hip) opened up a starting spot for Wiggins against Philadelphia. Wiggins capitalized on the increased role by continuing to scorch the nets from behind the arc, as he is converting 40.0 percent of his 5.5 three-point attempts per contest across his last 10 appearances.
Mar 19, 2025
Part of first unit
Wiggins will start Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.

Mar 15, 2025
Ruled out Saturday
Wiggins (illness) is out for Saturday's game against the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins will sit the first leg of this back-to-back set due to an illness, but it's unclear if the forward will miss considerable time with this problem. His next chance to suit up will come against the Bucks on Sunday.
Mar 14, 2025
Questionable for Saturday
Wiggins (illness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins is in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season due to an illness. If the 26-year-old forward is sidelined, Isaiah Joe, Alex Caruso and Kenrich Williams are candidates for a bump in playing time.
Mar 12, 2025
Flounders in start Wednesday
Wiggins posted zero points (0-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 20 minutes during Wednesday's 118-112 win over Boston.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins joined the starting lineup to counter a smaller Celtics lineup missing Kristaps Porzingis (illness), but he was unable to find the mark from the floor during a miserable shooting night. Through his last 12 outings (two starts), Wiggins has averaged 13.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.2 three-pointers in 24.7 minutes while shooting 41.9 percent from deep.

Mar 9, 2025
Retreats to bench
Wiggins won't start Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
With the Thunder resting their regulars, Wiggins drew a spot start Friday and posted 30 points in 32 minutes. However, the usual starting five is back in action, so Wiggins, Isaiah Joe, Kenrich Williams, Ousmane Dieng and Jaylin Williams are all shifting back to bench roles.
Mar 8, 2025
Scores team-high 30 points
Wiggins amassed 30 points (13-26 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Friday's 107-89 win over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's (rest) absence allowed additional usage for Wiggins and Isaiah Joe. Although Wiggins wasn't efficient with his three-point shot, he made 26 shot attempts during the victory, marking his second-highest shot total of the season. The Maryland product has logged 20 starts this season and has started in five of his last seven games. Assuming Cason Wallace (knee) and Luguentz Dort ((knee) remain sidelined, Wiggins will be in line to record another start Sunday against the Nuggets.
Mar 7, 2025
Set to start Friday

Available to play Wednesday

Mar 5, 2025
Questionable Wednesday
Wiggins (thumb) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins has not missed a game this season for the Thunder but popped up on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game with a thumb sprain. If the 25-year-old forward can't play in Memphis, Oklahoma City will likely turn to Isaiah Joe to shoulder the load off the bench.
Mar 3, 2025
Scores 17 off bench
Wiggins finished Sunday's 146-132 victory over the Spurs with 17 points (6-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 24 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins continues to operate as one of the primary offensive weapons for the second unit in Oklahoma City, something he's thriving at. He's scored in double figures in 14 straight games, averaging 18.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.9 three-pointers in 27.2 minutes per contest. During that span, Wiggins has returned top-50 value in nine-category formats.
Feb 27, 2025
Another impact outing off bench
Wiggins recorded 24 points (11-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 129-121 victory over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins has been sizzling hot this month, and not even the All-Star break has slowed him down. Wiggins has played off the bench in six of his 12 appearances in February but he's averaging a robust line of 19.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 0.9 steals per game. That includes four games in which he scored at least 24 points.
Feb 25, 2025
February scoring surge continues
Wiggins notched 19 points (8-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one block and two steals across 29 minutes off the bench during Monday's 131-128 overtime loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
The fourth-year forward has become one of OKC's steadiest contributors in February, as Wiggins has scored in double digits in 11 straight games this month on the heels of his career-high 41-point effort Feb. 1 against the Kings. During that span, Wiggins is averaging 18.7 points, 5.0 boards, 2.8 threes, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals in 27.6 minutes a contest while shooting 53.8 percent from the floor and 46.3 percent from beyond the arc.

Feb 12, 2025
In starting lineup Wednesday
Wiggins is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Heat, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS

Feb 11, 2025
Efficient shooting in win
Wiggins contributed 24 points (9-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and three steals in 25 minutes during Monday's 137-101 win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Ever since scoring a career-high 41 points in the Feb. 1 win over the Kings, Wiggins has taken his game to another level while being incredibly efficient shooting the basketball. During Monday's blowout win against the Pelicans, the 25-year-old forward missed only four shots on his way to 24 points, helping Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and company record the team's 43rd win of the season, which is tied for the most wins by a team so far this year with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Coming off bench Monday vs. NOLA
Wiggins is not in the Thunder's starting lineup against the Pelicans on Monday, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite his strong play as of late, Wiggins will be replaced in the starting lineup by Chet Holmgren (rest). Wiggins has started in the Thunder's last five games, and over that span he has averaged 23.0 points on 55.7 percent shooting (including 47.2 percent from three on 7.2 3PA/G), 7.0 rebounds and 2.4 assists over 32.4 minutes per game.
Feb 8, 2025
Lands career-high eight triples
Wiggins supplied 26 points (9-18 FG, 8-13 3Pt), 11 rebounds and two assists across 38 minutes during Saturday's 125-112 win over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins continues to make the most of his opportunities, scoring double-digits for the fifth straight game, connecting on a career-high eight three-pointers in the process. The Thunder were without Luguentz Dort (back), Cason Wallace (shoulder) and Chet Holmgren (rest), meaning Wiggins was able to remain a member of the opening unit. It's been fun to watch him develop on the offensive end but his role is likely to reduce if and when the Thunder start getting healthy bodies back on the floor.
Feb 8, 2025
Drops 18 in fourth straight start
Wiggins totaled 18 points (7-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Friday's 121-109 victory over the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Chet Holmgren made his return Friday from a three-month absence due to a hip issue, but with Lugentz Dort (back) a late scratch instead, Wiggins remained in the starting five for at least one more game. The fourth-year forward figures to return to the bench once Dort is cleared, but Wiggins has been productive while starting the last four contests, averaging 22.3 points, 6.0 boards, 2.5 assists, 2.3 threes and 0.8 steals in 31.0 minutes while shooting 57.4 percent from the floor.
Feb 6, 2025
Efficient 17 points in start
Wiggins totaled 17 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 140-109 win over the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins was able to stay in Oklahoma City's first unit Wednesday despite the return of Jalen Williams, as Cason Wallace is now nursing a shoulder injury. Wiggins has averaged 12.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.9 threes in 24.5 minutes across 16 games as a Thunder starter this season. Although the 26-year-old sharpshooter's fantasy value remains limited to triples and swipes, he'll carry more streaming appeal when he gets to ride with the starting lineup.
Feb 1, 2025
Goes off for career-high 41 points
Wiggins amassed 41 points (16-30 FG, 6-14 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds and three assists in 40 minutes during Saturday's 144-110 win over Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins went off Saturday, registering career-high figures with his 41 points and 14 rebounds in a start after coming off Oklahoma City's bench in Wednesday's loss to Golden State. The 26-year-old has now started 14 contests for the Thunder in 2024-25, averaging 11.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.1 three-pointers in 24.4 minutes per game with the first unit. While Wiggins' inconsistent role renders him a volatile fantasy asset going forward, he would be more likely to stay with the starters if Cason Wallace misses time with a shoulder injury.
Feb 1, 2025
Starting Saturday vs. Sacramento
Wiggins is in the Thunder's starting lineup against the Kings on Saturday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins came off the bench during the Thunder's 116-109 loss to the Warriors on Wednesday, but he'll return to the starting lineup Saturday due to the absence of Jalen Williams (wrist). Wiggins averaged 10.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists over 23.4 minutes per game in January.
Jan 29, 2025
Slides back to bench
Wiggins will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against Golden State, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS

Jan 26, 2025
Starting sans Dort Sunday
Wiggins will start in Sunday's game against Portland, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS

Jan 23, 2025
Retreats to bench Thursday
Wiggins will come off the bench in Thursday's game against the Mavericks, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Cason Wallace will supplant Wiggins in the starting five after he posted 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 23 minutes as a member of the starting five during Wednesday's win over Utah. Over his last five outings (two starts), the 26-year-old has averaged 8.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 24.2 minutes per contest.
Jan 22, 2025
Starting Wednesday
Wiggins is part of the first unit for Wednesday's game against the Jazz, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS

Jan 19, 2025
Returning to bench role
Wiggins is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Nets, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins started against the Mavericks on Friday, but he'll return to the bench here since Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will return from a one-game absence due to a wrist injury, and because Isaiah Joe will also move into the first unit. Wiggins is averaging 9.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game when coming off the bench this season.
Jan 17, 2025
Starting against Dallas
Wiggins will start Friday's game against Dallas, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was a late scratch due to wrist soreness, so the Thunder will exercise caution on the second leg of this back-to-back set. In 10 starts this season, Wiggins holds averages of 9.7 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.9 three-pointers.
Jan 13, 2025
Drops season-high 23 in win
Wiggins closed with 23 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 136-95 victory over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
The fourth-year forward led the Thunder's second unit with season-best performances in both points and boards. Wiggins has had a hot start to the month of January, and over the last six games he's averaging 14.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.8 threes while shooting a blistering 68.8 percent from the floor and 52.4 percent (11-for-21) from beyond the arc.
Jan 4, 2025
Shines in win over New York
Wiggins closed Friday's 117-107 victory over the Knicks with 19 points (7-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 25 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins came off the bench Friday after getting the starting nod Thursday against the Clippers on his 26th birthday, but he made his presence felt with an efficient showing and a stellar performance in the final minutes. This was Wiggins' fourth game with more than 15 points this season, and coincidentally, three of those outings have come over his last five appearances, so Wiggins is certainly riding his most productive stretch of the campaign regardless of his inconsistent role.
Jan 3, 2025
Not starting Friday
Wiggins is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Knicks, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins made his 10th start of the season in Thursday's 116-98 win over the Clippers and finished with nine points, four rebounds and two assists over 28 minutes. He'll cede his starting spot to Cason Wallace for Friday's contest.
Jan 2, 2025
Muted impact in start Thursday
Wiggins chipped in nine points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists across 28 minutes during Thursday's 116-98 win over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
After coming off the bench for Oklahoma City's past two games, Wiggins jumped back into the starting five Thursday but didn't make a major impact in the box score. Across 10 games as a starter in 2024-25, the sharpshooter has averaged 9.7 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.9 threes in 23.9 minutes while shooting 43.2 percent from beyond the arc. Wiggins' three-and-D role has strictly rendered him a specialist when it comes to points, triples and swipes for fantasy managers in deep leagues, and his value hasn't significantly varied whether he's been a starter or a reserve for the Thunder.
Jan 2, 2025
Gets starting nod Thursday
Wiggins will start in Thursday's game against the Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old forward will supplant Cason Wallace in the starting five on Thursday. Wiggins has started in nine of his 32 appearances this season, and he has averaged 9.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.1 steals across 23.3 minutes per game as a starter.
Dec 30, 2024
Impressive off bench Sunday
Wiggins logged 16 points (6-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and two steals across 24 minutes during Sunday's 130-106 victory over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins was impressive off the bench and made the most of his minutes despite returning to his regular bench role. Despite playing regularly with the second unit, Wiggins could be a valuable streaming option in some deep formats. He's scored in double digits in six of his 12 appearances in December, averaging 8.5 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 11 steals across 18.7 minutes per game.
Dec 29, 2024
Back to bench Sunday
Wiggins is not in the Thunder's starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins made his ninth start of the season (and first since Nov. 25) Saturday against the Hornets, and he finished with 17 points, five rebounds, one assist and two steals over 33 minutes in a 106-94 win. Wiggins will revert to a reserve role Sunday due to the return of Cason Wallace (quadriceps) and Luguentz Dort (ankle).
Dec 28, 2024
Inserted into starting lineup
Wiggins is in the starting five for Saturday's game versus the Hornets, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins will replace Luguentz Dort (ankle) in the starting lineup Saturday. Wiggins is averaging 8.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 22.1 minutes across his previous eight starting appearances.
Dec 23, 2024
Muted role continues
Wiggins supplied seven points (3-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt) and one rebound in 14 minutes during Monday's 123-105 victory over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins played fewer than 15 minutes for the fifth time in the past six games, highlighting the current depth in Oklahoma City. Earlier in the piece, Wiggins has been playing upwards of 25 minutes per game, turning in tangible production. However, it now looks as though they are comfortable using him in a limited role, although that could change at any point.
Dec 15, 2024
Delivers donut in win
Wiggins accumulated no counting stats in 10 minutes during Saturday's 111-96 victory over Houston.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins failed to score for the first time this season, another in a string of poor performances. He has scored a total of five points in the past three games, before which he scored at least 12 points in three straight contests. The Thunder have the luxury of chopping and changing their rotation, making Wiggins a tough player to trust moving forward.
Dec 4, 2024
Productive off bench
Wiggins ended Tuesday's 133-106 win over the Jazz with 16 points (6-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals over 22 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder ran away with this game early, allowing Wiggins to take advantage of some garbage time. Wiggins is a tough sell outside of deeper fantasy formats with such a deep rotation in Oklahoma City. Through 21 regular-season appearances, Wiggins is averaging 21.1 minutes per night.
Nov 27, 2024
Moving back to bench
Wiggins is not starting in Wednesday's game against the Warriors.

Moving back to bench
Wiggins will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against New Orleans, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder are still experimenting with new lineups after Chet Holmgren's (hip) injury. Wiggins will be pushed to the second unit as part of the trial, with Cason Wallace replacing him in the first five. In seven games off the bench, Wiggins is averaging 10.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists across 20.1 minutes.
Nov 10, 2024
Back in starting lineup
Wiggins is in the Thunder's starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Warriors, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS

Nov 2, 2024
Starting vs. Clippers
Wiggins is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Clippers, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins will make his second start of the 2024-25 regular season Saturday as Isaiah Joe and Cason Wallace come off the bench. The trio have each started twice through the first six games of the season as the Thunder figure out their starting lineup. In his last outing Friday against the Trail Blazers, Wiggins logged 13 points, eight rebounds, two assists and one steal across 23 minutes.
Nov 2, 2024
Efficient from range
Wiggins ended Friday's 137-114 win over the Trail Blazers with 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal in 23 minutes.
ANALYSIS

ANALYSIS
Wiggins will make his first start of the season, sending Cason Wallace to the bench. Wiggins has had a strong start to the season, averaging 11.5 points and 4.5 rebounds while shooting 68.8 percent from the floor through two games.

Posts 15 points from bench
Wiggins produced 15 points (7-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 20 minutes during Thursday's 102-87 win over the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder signed Wiggins to a five-year, $47 million contract in the offseason, which is a huge price tag for a second-unit player. The deal is a sign that the team wants increased involvement from the former second-round pick, but he'll have to navigate a crowded depth chart to achieve that goal. At 6-5, his best chance to break through might be in the backcourt, where Isaiah Joe will have to prove his worth to stick with the starting five.
Oct 9, 2024
Moves back to bench
Wiggins won't start Wednesday's preseason game against the Rockets, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
With Alex Caruso and Lugentz Dort resting, Wiggins drew a start during Monday's preseason opener. He posted seven points (3-8 FG), three assists and two rebounds in 22 minutes against the Spurs. However, Caruso and Dort will be back in action Wednesday, pushing Wiggins to a reserve role.
Oct 7, 2024
Starting in preseason opener
Rylan Stiles of FanSided.comWiggins is in the starting five for the Thunders' preseason opener against the Spurs on Monday, Rylan reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins will take Alex Caruso's spot and join Jalen Williams, Cason Wallace, Ousmane Dieng and Chet Holmgren in Monday's starting lineup. Wiggins signed a five-year, $47 million contract with the Thunder in July after a 2023-24 campaign where he averaged 6.9 points on 56.2 percent shooting, 2.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists across 15.7 minutes per game.
Jul 1, 2024
Back in OKC on five-year pact
Wiggins agreed Monday with the Thunder on a five-year, $47 million contract, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder declined Wiggins' team-friendly $1.99 million player option for 2024-25 on Saturday, but the club had always intended to bring the 25-year-old back on a longer-term deal. The two sides were able to come to terms quickly on an agreement, with Wiggins getting some increased financial security and the Thunder retaining a versatile chess piece off the bench for the foreseeable future. Due to his standing as a low-usage player, Wiggins' offensive production rarely jumped off the page, but he was hyper-efficient with his opportunities in 2023-24, converting on 56.2 percent of his attempts from the field and 49.2 percent of his attempts from three-point range over his 78 regular-season appearances. The Thunder have already swapped Josh Giddey off the roster for Alex Caruso during the upcoming season, but unless Oklahoma City elects to marginalize or trade incumbent starting forward Luguentz Dort, Wiggins may not see his role grow substantially in 2024-25 even with the new extension in place. That said, h

Enters free agency but could return
The Thunder declined Wiggins' $2 million team option Saturday, but the team is expected to offer the 25-year-old a long-term deal, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins' efficiency was through the roof last season, during which he posted a career-high 56.2 percent from the field in his third year with OKC. The 25-year-old is expected to be brought back on a long-term deal with the Thunder once free agency officially opens in July. In a career-high 78 regular-season appearances last year, Wiggins averaged 6.9 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.7 steals across 15.7 minutes per game.
May 8, 2024
Pops for 16 points Tuesday
Wiggins logged 16 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 23 minutes during Tuesday's 117-95 victory over the Mavericks in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins had his best game of the playoffs, scoring 16 points including three triples. Given he scored a combined 23 points in the first-round series against the Pelicans, outbursts like this shouldn't be expected moving forward. With that said, he should continue to play a meaningful role off the bench, starting with Game 2 which will take place Thursday.
Apr 15, 2024
Posts 14 points from bench
Wiggins closed with 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal over 18 minutes during Sunday's 135-86 victory over Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins got some extra court time after the Thunder emptied the bench early. Wiggins is now in his third season with the Thunder, and although he put up some decent stat lines as a fill-in throughout the season, the Maryland product failed to surpass his rookie numbers for a second consecutive season. Wiggins' future with the Thunder is up on the air, as the team may choose to decline his club option for the 2024-25 season.
Apr 9, 2024
Back to second unit
Wiggins will come off the bench for Tuesday's game against the Kings, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Apr 8, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Apr 7, 2024
Returns to starting lineup
Wiggins will start Sunday versus Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
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.
Apr 5, 2024
Not starting against Indiana
Wiggins isn't starting Friday's game against the Pacers, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Apr 2, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Apr 2, 2024
Starting against 76ers
Wiggins will start Tuesday's game against the 76ers, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Mar 29, 2024
Starting Friday
Wiggins will start at shooting gaurd in Friday's game versus the Suns, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Mar 1, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Feb 5, 2024
Plays well off bench
Wiggins ended Sunday's 135-127 double-overtime victory over the Raptors with 20 points (8-17 FG, 4-11 3Pt), six rebounds and two assists in 33 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins led all bench scorers in this double-overtime thriller, and he reached 20 points for the second time this campaign. Wiggins has been a key part of the second unit for the Thunder lately, averaging 10.8 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.8 three-pointers in 20.5 minutes per contest.
Feb 3, 2024
Steps up in win
Wiggins ended with 10 points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal in 19 minutes during Friday's 126-106 win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Oklahoma City lead for the entirety of the contest, so 14 players took the court in a lopsided affair. 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.
Jan 25, 2024
Scores season-high 22 points
Wiggins chipped in 22 points (9-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one block over 19 minutes during Wednesday's 140-114 victory over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins had his most productive shooting performance of the season in Wednesday's win. He's managed to play double-digit minutes off the bench over his last five games and seems to have and established role in reserve. Wiggins will look to extend his double-digit scoring streak to three games Friday against the Pelicans.
Jan 24, 2024
Scores 13 off bench
Wiggins finished with 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and three rebounds in 17 minutes during Tuesday's 111-109 win over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
This was the first time that Wiggins reached double figures since Jan. 8. He has seen minutes in the teens in four straight games, but his usage rate has been low with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams dominating the time on the ball.
Jan 9, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 20, 2023
Posts solid line from bench
Wiggins recorded 13 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, one assist and three steals in 16 minutes during Sunday's 134-91 win over Portland.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 17, 2023
Plays 11 minutes in blowout
Wiggins amassed five points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 11 minutes during Thursday's 128-109 win over Golden State.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins garnered double-digit minutes in each of his first five appearances this season but has seen his playing time drop since. He's averaging just 3.9 points and 1.4 rebounds in 10.8 minutes per game across 10 appearances. Last year, he averaged 18.5 minutes across 70 appearances (14 starts), but there's just not enough room in the rotation with Chet Holmgren healthy and dominating.
Nov 1, 2023
Efficient night in loss
Wiggins closed Wednesday's 110-106 loss to the Pelicans with 10 points (4-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 14 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins logged double-digit points for the first time this year and played a season-high 14 minutes. He also logged a plus-14 point differential and was only one of three players to log a positive mark.
Oct 17, 2023
Returns to bench
Wiggins isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's preseason game against the Bucks, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins will move back to the bench with many of the Thunder's regulars returning to the lineup. Wiggins tallied 16 points, four rebounds and two assists in his spot start Sunday.
Oct 15, 2023
Gets starting nod Sunday
Wiggins will start Sunday's preseason game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder's usual starters are resting, so Wiggins will get a shot with the first unit Sunday. He'll be joined by Ousmane Dieng, Jaylin Williams, Cason Wallace and Vasilije Micic.
Oct 12, 2023
Won't play Thursday
Wiggins won't play in Thursday's preseason game against the Pistons due to rest, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins will be a healthy scratch for Thursday's exhibition matchup after tallying four points (1-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds in nine minutes during Monday's preseason opener against the Spurs. Since he isn't dealing with an injury, it wouldn't be surprising to see him return to action later in the preseason.
Apr 7, 2023
Strong production off bench
Wiggins supplied 15 points (5-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and three steals in 28 minutes during Thursday's 114-98 victory over Utah.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins tied his season high with three steals and scored in double figures for a fifth consecutive contest. During that stretch, the second-year wing has averaged 14.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.0 steals in 27.4 minutes per game.
Apr 5, 2023
Posts 11 points as reserve
Wiggins produced 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds over 27 minutes during Tuesday's 136-125 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins came off the bench and scored in double figure for a fourth straight game. During that stretch, he's averaged 14.0 points while shooting 66.7 percent from the field.
Mar 30, 2023
Provides 19 points off bench
Wiggins had 19 points (8-11 FG, 3-3 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 107-106 victory over Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins provided a major spark off the Oklahoma City bench, racking up 13 points in the first half on 5-of-6 shooting from the field, including 3-of-3 from beyond the arc. He added another six points in the second half while also chipping in three rebounds, a steal and two blocks as the Thunder barely managed to hold off the Pistons at home. Wiggins played 32 minutes in the contest, the most he's played since March 7 against the Warriors and shot 72.7 percent from the floor on the night.
Mar 20, 2023
Picks up two steals in win
Wiggins finished Sunday's 124-120 win over the Suns with seven points (3-4 FG, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and two steals in 12 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Since he moved back to the bench following a March 8 start in Phoenix, Wiggins' playing time has been all over the shop, ranging from two to 20 over the past five games. He fell in the middle of the two extremes Sunday, and though he delivered some solid production in the steals category, he can't be relied upon to replicate that with any sort of consistency in limited minutes.
Mar 7, 2023
Starting against Warriors
Wiggins will enter the starting lineup Tuesday against the Warriors, Brandon Rahbar of the Daily Thunder reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins is going to be a popular streamer for the Thunder's back-to-back set. Jalen Williams will be sidelined Tuesday and Wednesday, while Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will sit out Wednesday's contest.
Mar 4, 2023
Scores season-high 27 points
Wiggins notched 27 points (12-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds and two steals in 27 minutes during Friday's 130-103 win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins was impressive off the bench and made the most of his minutes to end up as one of the Thunder's leading scorers in an impressive 27-point win over Utah. This was Wiggins' best scoring output of the season, but fantasy managers shouldn't be fooled by this performance, as he's only averaging 8.5 points with 2.7 rebounds across 21.0 minutes per game since the start of February.
Feb 26, 2023
Recalled to NBA club
The Thunder recalled Wiggins to the NBA club from the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Sunday, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins is back with the NBA squad after a brief visit with the G League affiliate. He's appeared in 12 of the Thunder's past 13 games and is averaging 6.3 points and 2.8 rebounds in 19.4 minutes during that stretch and figures to garner a similar role against the Kings on Sunday.
Feb 15, 2023
Recalled to NBA
The Thunder recalled Wiggins from the Oklahoma City Blue of the G League on Wednesday, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins started in the Blue's matchup with the Hustle on Wednesday but will rejoin the Thunder after just one day in the G League. The 23-year-old guard is averaging 6.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 18.6 minutes across 45 games in the NBA this season.
Feb 15, 2023
Assigned to G League
Wiggins was assigned to the G League's Oklahoma City Blue on Wednesday, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins started five of the last eight matchups for the Thunder and averaged 6.6 points and 2.8 rebounds in 21.8 minutes per game across that span. However, he returned to the bench Monday and should have a chance to see plenty of playing time for the Blue during their final game before the All-Star break. It wouldn't be surprising to see the 24-year-old rejoin the parent club following the layoff.
Feb 13, 2023
Shifts to bench
Wiggins isn't starting Monday's game against the Pelicans, Clemente Almanza of The Thunder Wire reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins had started three of Oklahoma City's last four contests leading up to Monday's clash, but he'll return to a bench role with Luguentz Dort set to return to the first unit. Wiggins finished with five points, three rebounds and one block across 22 minutes in his last appearances as a reserve Tuesday against the Lakers.
Feb 10, 2023
Late addition to starting lineup
Wiggins is in the starting five for Friday's game versus Portland.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins will replace Jaylin Williams in the starting lineup Friday. He is averaging 11.0 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 28.3 minutes across his previous 11 starts.
Feb 7, 2023
Moves to the bench
Wiggins will move to the bench Tuesday against the Lakers according to Clemente Almanza of The Thunder Wire.
ANALYSIS
Kenrich Williams will jump into the first unit as the Thunder continue to play the matchups. Wiggins is coming off one of his best games of the season with 19 points and a pair of three-pointers against the Warriors on Monday.
Feb 7, 2023
Scores 19 as a starter
Wiggins racked up 19 points (8-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two steals across 25 minutes during Monday's 141-114 loss to Golden State.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins has been hit-or-miss as a starter this season, but his 19 points on Monday night accounted for a season-high, and it was the first time he cracked double-digits in the points department in three games. However, he's not going to convert 80 percent of his shot attempts on most nights, so this stat line feels flukey.
Feb 4, 2023
Starting Saturday
Wiggins is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockets, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder are shaking up their starting unit again, and Wiggins will jump into the starting lineup over Isaiah Joe. The former Maryland standout averages 10.3 points per game in nine starts this season.
Feb 1, 2023
Moves back to bench
Wiggins isn't in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Houston, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Isaiah Joe will replace Wiggins in the starting five Wednesday. The second-year guard is averaging 10.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 29.2 minutes across nine starts this season.
Jan 28, 2023
Scores 10 points in spot start
Wiggins produced 10 points (4-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Friday's 112-100 win over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins moved into the starting lineup, logging at least 30 minutes for just the fourth time this season. The Thunder continue to change up their rotation on a nightly basis, making guys like Wiggins almost impossible to trust when it comes to fantasy value. While he can put up numbers when handed significant playing time, he could very well play no more than 15 minutes in their next outing.
Jan 27, 2023
Starting sans Dort
Wiggins will start Friday's game against the Cavaliers, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
ANALYSIS
With Luguentz Dort (hamstring) out, Wiggins will move back into the starting lineup for the first time since Jan. 3. The second-year wing has scored in double figures in five of his seven starts this season, posting 11.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists during those contests. The Thunder have also won all seven of Wiggins' starts this season.
Jan 4, 2023
Plays well in spot start
Wiggins racked up 17 points (7-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and three assists over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 150-117 victory over Boston.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins replaced Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (illness) in the starting lineup Tuesday, matching his season high with 17 points. While this was certainly an encouraging performance, it should be noted that he had failed to score a single point in three of his previous four games. With that said, managers should view this as an outlier and obviously he is not a name to target outside of the deepest formats.
Jan 3, 2023
Starting Tuesday
Wiggins is in the starting lineup Tuesday against Boston, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins is earning the spot-start with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander out due to an illness. Across six previous starts, Wiggins averaged 10.5 points and 5.5 rebounds in 29.5 minutes.
Dec 21, 2022
Returns to bench
Wiggins isn't in the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with Portland, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins will be replaced by Josh Giddey in the starting five Wednesday. The second-year guard has scored at least ten points in his last three outings.
Dec 19, 2022
Starting Monday
Wiggins is starting Monday's contest against the Trail Blazers, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old will officially make his sixth start of the season for the Thunder. Throughout his first five starts this year, Wiggins is averaging 10.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.0 steals across 30.4 minutes per game. Isaiah Joe will return to his normal bench role with Wiggins starting Monday.
Dec 18, 2022
Solid contribution off bench
Wiggins produced 14 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds and four assists in 21 minutes during Saturday's 115-109 victory over Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins had a solid night off the bench for Oklahoma City, scoring nine points in the first half on 3-of-6 shooting from the field to go along with six rebounds and three assists before tacking on another five points in the second half. His eight rebounds in the contest were his second-most in any game this season while he also attempted a season-high six free throws, making four of them.
Nov 27, 2022
Scores 15 points off bench
Wiggins contributed 15 points (5-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and three steals across 23 minutes during Saturday's 118-105 loss to Houston.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins logged just under six minutes off the bench in the first half and went 1-of-2 from the field with three points while also grabbing a steal off a bad pass from Kevin Porter. The Thunder guard got more involved in the second half, adding another 12 points, nine of which came in the fourth quarter on 3-of-5 shooting from the field as Oklahoma City failed to claw its way back late. The 15 points marked his second-highest point total of the season while he also matched a season high with three steals in the contest.
Nov 18, 2022
Sitting Friday
Wiggins will not start Friday's contest against the Grizzlies, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins was replaced in the starting lineup by Jalen Williams, but Wiggins should still be expected to handle a significant workload Friday despite his bench status. Wiggins has averaged 5.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists across 21.3 minutes per game this season.
Nov 16, 2022
Rejoins starting five
Wiggins will start Wednesday's game versus the Wizards, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahomanreports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins has four starts under his belt this season and has played at least 28 minutes in each of them, so his inclusion in the lineup could mean expanded run Wednesday. Jalen Williams will move to the bench in a corresponding change.
Nov 13, 2022
Moves back to bench
Wiggins is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins started Friday against the Raptors on Friday and scored a season-high 17 points, but he moves back to the bench here, presumably because the Thunder will add more size to the frontcourt. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl will takeover Wiggins' spot in the starting lineup.
Nov 12, 2022
Scores season-high 17 points
Wiggins racked up 17 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal across 34 minutes during Friday's 132-113 victory over the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins started for the first time since the Oct. 29 matchup against the Mavericks, and he delivered one of his best performances of the season -- he posted season-high figures in points and assists while also registering his third-best rebounding output of the campaign. He's averaging 11.0 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game as a starter, but due to the Thunder's constant lineup shuffling, it remains to be seen if he'll be in the lineup against the Knicks on Sunday.
Nov 11, 2022
Starting Friday
Wiggins will enter the starting lineup for Friday's contest against the Raptors, Andrew Schlecht reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins has been a part of the Thunder's constant lineup shuffling, however, he lands in the starting lineup for Friday's meeting with Toronto. He has averaged 5.0 points and 4.1 rebounds in 20 minutes per game so far this season.
Nov 1, 2022
Coming off bench
Wiggins will come off the bench Tuesday against the Magic, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Rookie Jalen Williams is getting his first career start, and Josh Giddey is back, so Wiggins will resume a bench role. In his two bench appearances, he averaged 5.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 20.5 minutes.
Oct 25, 2022
Enters starting lineup
Wiggins is in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins will receive his first start of the season Tuesday with Josh Giddey out (ankle). It is unclear how long Giddey will be out after spraining his ankle, but Wiggins and Aleksej Pokusevski will likely compete for the final starting spot until he returns.
Oct 11, 2022
Out of starting unit
Wiggins will move out of the starting five for Tuesday's preseason clash with the Pistons, Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins made a cameo in the starting unit for the Thunder last week but has moved out of the unit with more of the regular ready to go. He figures to be bench support when the full squad is healthy and playing during the regular season.
Oct 5, 2022
Starting Wednesday
Wiggins will start Wednesday's preseason game against the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins came off the bench for Monday's preseason opener against the Nuggets, recording 15 points, three rebounds, one assist and two steals in 20 minutes of action. He'll get the start for Wednesday's exhibition with Dallas as Kenrich Williams shifts to the bench.
Apr 5, 2022
Coming off bench Tuesday
Wiggins will come off the bench Tuesday against the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins will head to the bench as the Thunder delve even deeper into a tank. As a reserve, Wiggins has averaged 4.8 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 17.1 minutes.
Mar 29, 2022
Excels in start Monday
Wiggins produced 28 points (11-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds and six assists across 40 minutes during Monday's 134-131 overtime win over Portland.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins came off the bench for the Thunder's previous game Saturday, but he was back in his usual starting role against the Blazers. The rookie forward seized the opportunity, posting a career-best point total thanks to an efficient 11-for-19 shooting line. Wiggins will likely to continue to start down the stretch, but he has been far from consistent in that role, averaging 9.8 points and 4.4 boards over 27.6 minutes across 32 games.
Mar 17, 2022
Scores two points in return
Wiggins amassed two points (1-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 122-120 loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins was back in the starting lineup after missing two straight games as a result of an illness, although you would not know it to look at the scoresheet. Coming off a career-high 25 points in his previous game, this was certainly a bad night for anyone who took a chance on the rookie. He will obviously be much better than this on most nights, and despite the constant roster changes, he does appear to have a somewhat steady role, making him worth a look in deeper formats.
Mar 15, 2022
Not listed on injury report
Wiggins (illness) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's contest against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins missed back-to-back games due to a non-COVID illness, but he'll likely be back in the mix Wednesday, though it's unclear if he'll draw the start. In his last game before the absence, the second-round rookie totaled season highs in points (25), rebounds (nine) and assists (five).
Mar 14, 2022
Remains out Monday
Wiggins (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins will miss a second consecutive game due to a non-COVID illness. Theo Maledon drew the start in Wiggins' absence Sunday, while Lindy Waters, Vit Krejci and Aleksej Pokusevski all had significant roles off the bench.
Mar 13, 2022
Out Sunday due to illness
Wiggins has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Grizzlies due to flu-like symptoms, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Not only will Wiggins be out Sunday, but his status for the second half of the Thunders' back-to-back Monday will likely also be in doubt. In his absence, Aleksej Pokusevski, Tre Mann and Vit Krejci are all candidates for increased roles.
Mar 9, 2022
Career-best performance Wednesday
Wiggins registered 25 points (9-19 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 132-102 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins logged career-high numbers across the board Wednesday, taking advantage of what was another ugly loss. After flashing some upside earlier in the season, the rookie has slowed in recent times, coinciding with a couple of enforced absences. Knowing what the Thunder are going to roll out from one night to the next is basically impossible at this point. Wiggins is certainly a name to consider for streaming purposes, should you be savvy enough to know when the time is right.
Mar 7, 2022
Plays 35 minutes in return
Wiggins provided 11 points (5-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Sunday's 116-103 loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins is the obvious pivot for managers who rely on Josh Giddey (hip), and although Wiggins' numbers haven't been great, his 35 minutes of court time allow him to be relevant. He showed no ill effects from the ankle injury that sidelined him for two games.
Mar 6, 2022
Gets 11 points in return
Wiggins (ankle) posted 11 points (5-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals across 35 minutes Sunday in the Thunder's 116-103 loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Though he had missed the previous two games with a right ankle sprain and was expected to come off the bench after being listed questionable heading into the day, Wiggins ended up being moved into the starting five shortly before tip off when the Thunder scratched Isaiah Roby (back). Oklahoma City wasn't shy about feeding Wiggins his most minutes since Jan. 19, though that may have at least partially been a byproduct of the team having only eight other players available. In any case, Wiggins played reasonably well during his time on the court and should be locked into a regular 20-plus-minute role for the Thunder now that he's healthy again.
Mar 6, 2022
Late addition to starting five
Wiggins will start Sunday's game against the Jazz after Isaiah Roby (back) was a late scratch, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Throughout the day, all indications were that Roby would continue to start at center, but it looks like he may have tweaked something in his lower-back during pregame warmups. With virtually all other options at center also hurt -- Derrick Favors (back), Mike Muscala (ankle), Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (foot) -- the Thunder will go with a smaller look and shift Darius Bazley up to the five, while Wiggins enters the lineup on the wing. Wiggins missed the previous two games with a sprained ankle, so this will be his first action since Monday against Sacramento.
Mar 6, 2022
Available Sunday
Wiggins (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Jazz, Nick Crain of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins missed the last two games due to a right ankle sprain, but he'll return to game action Sunday after participating in Saturday's practice session. He averaged 5.2 points and 3.2 rebounds in 25.0 minutes per game across his five appearances prior to his absence, but he'll come off the bench against the Jazz.
Mar 5, 2022
Questionable against Jazz
Wiggins (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jazz, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins has missed the last two games due to a sprained right ankle, but he practiced Saturday and will have an opportunity to return Sunday. If he remains out, Aleksej Pokusevski and Vit Krejci should see increased run.
Mar 4, 2022
Out Friday
Wiggins (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins will be unavailable for the second straight game after suffering a right ankle sprain Monday against Sacramento. Aleksej Pokusevski and Vit Krejci will see more playing time as Oklahoma City remains short-handed due to injury.
Mar 1, 2022
Won't play Wednesday
Wiggins (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Nuggets, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins left Monday's loss to the Kings in the first half with a right ankle sprain and was unable to return. The rookie wing will be sidelined for at least one additional contest, and Vit Krejci, who started the second half of Monday's contest in Wiggins' place, will likely see an increased role for duration of Wiggins' absence.
Feb 28, 2022
Exits wth ankle injury
Wiggins left Monday's game against the Kings with a right ankle sprain and has been ruled out, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins appeared to roll his ankle on a play near the end of the first half and was quickly ruled out. Vit Krejci started the second half in Wiggins' place and should see an increase in playing time the rest of the way.
Feb 14, 2022
Enters starting five
Wiggins is starting Monday's game against the Knicks, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins has missed five of his team's last six contests while dealing with an ankle injury and came off the bench in his return Saturday against the Bulls, but he'll draw his first start since Feb. 2 against New York on Monday. He'll run with the first unit in place of Luguentz Dort, who is out with a left shoulder strain.
Feb 13, 2022
Returns with 19-minute role
Wiggins (ankle) posted five points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 19 minutes Saturday in the Thunder's 106-101 loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
After having his two-way contract converted into a four-year standard NBA contract earlier in the day, Wiggins was cleared to return Saturday from a five-game absence due to a sprained right ankle. Wiggins had started in each of his last three appearances before suffering the injury, but Oklahoma City brought him off the bench in Chicago. The rookie should maintain a regular role in the rotation now that he's healthy again, and it wouldn't be a surprise if he eventually supplanted the struggling Tre Mann in the starting five.
Feb 12, 2022
Available Saturday
Wiggins (ankle) is available Saturday against the Bulls, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After five missed games, Wiggins will see the court fresh off a contract extension. Since the start of January, he's averaged 8.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.0 steals in 25.5 minutes.
Feb 12, 2022
Inks four-year deal with OKC
Wiggins (ankle) and the Thunder agreed Saturday to a four-year, $6.4 million contract with a team option on the fourth year, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins has been a staple in the Thunder's rotation since mid-November. The rookie has appeared in 31 games and averaged 7.4 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 21.9 minutes. He'll presumably be a bench option for the Thunder when the team is at full strength.
Feb 4, 2022
Could face multi-game absence
Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault said Friday that Wiggins' sprained right ankle is more than a day-to-day concern, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Oklahoma City already lists Wiggins as out ahead of Friday's game in Portland, and based on Daignault's comments, the rookie looks like he'll be sidelined for the second half of the back-to-back set Saturday in Sacramento and perhaps the entirety of the Thunder's upcoming four-game week. After being dropped from the rotation Jan. 28 against Indiana, Wiggins had played 24 and 28 minutes, respectively, in Oklahoma City's last two contests. The Thunder will likely turn to a combination of Darius Bazley, Kenrich Williams and Tre Mann to absorb most of Wiggins' minutes.
Feb 3, 2022
Listed out Friday
Wiggins will not play Friday against the Trail Blazers due to a sprained right ankle.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins apparently picked up the injury during Wednesday's win over Dallas, which he finished with eight points, four rebounds and one assist in 24 minutes. With the Thunder entering a back-to-back, Wiggins could very well miss Saturday's game at Sacramento, as well.
Jan 31, 2022
Rejoins starting lineup
Wiggins will start Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins started Jan. 24 against the Bulls but didn't play Friday versus the Pacers, but he's back in the starting five for Monday's contest. He's averaging 10.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 27.2 minutes as a starter this season.
Jan 24, 2022
Quiet in Monday's spot start
Wiggins ended Monday's 111-110 loss to the Bulls with five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and one rebound in 16 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins moved back into the starting lineup Monday but failed to come through with the goods. In fact, this was one of his poorer performances in recent memory. The Thunder are seemingly happy to change up their starting five on a nightly basis, making Wiggins a very hard player to trust outside of deeper formats. If he manages to carve out a consistent 30-minute role down the stretch, managers may want to consider him but for now, simply add him to your watchlist.
Jan 24, 2022
Rejoins starting five
Wiggins will start Monday's game against the Bulls, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins appeared to be assigned to the G League ahead of Saturday's matchup with Cleveland, but he stuck around the NBA club and totaled 11 points (4-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds and two steals off the bench. The 23-year-old is back in the starting lineup Monday, and he's averaged 10.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.1 steals over 27.9 minutes in that role this season.
Jan 23, 2022
Plays Saturday after all
Wiggins came off the bench and provided 11 points (4-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds and two steals across 22 minutes Saturday in the Thunder's 94-87 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Though the NBA's officially injury report initially listed Wiggins as out for Saturday's game following an assignment to the G League, he was later upgraded to available ahead of the opening tip. However, Wiggins moved to the bench after starting both of the previous two contests, with Darius Bazley getting the nod at power forward in his stead. The Thunder may have just deployed Bazley alongside Jeremiah Robinson-Earl in the frontcourt to better counter the Cavaliers' combination of Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen, but Wiggins could move back up to the top unit Monday against the Bulls. Wiggins has logged at least 20 minutes in each of Oklahoma City's last four contests, averaging 10.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.0 three-pointers per game.

Assigned to G League
Wiggins is out for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers, as he was assigned to the G League on Saturday, Andrew Schlect of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
This is pretty significant news, as Wiggins has appeared in the last 15 games for the Thunder, averaging 10.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.1 steals in 27.5 minutes. However, Wiggins is a two-way player, so he has limited NBA days available. As a result, we could see him bounce back and forth between the two clubs more often unless the organization decides to sign him to a standard deal.

Leads team with 19 points
Wiggins totaled 19 points (8-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 118-96 loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins led the Thunder offensively by posting his highest scoring total since dropping 22 points Dec. 29 against the Suns. His eight rebounds also tied a season best. The 2021 second-round pick has exceeded many expectations so far this season, as the guard is averaging 7.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists while shooting 47.8 percent overall.
Jan 19, 2022
Rejoins starting five
Wiggins will start Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins came off the bench the past two games but will return to the lineup for Wednesday's contest. Darius Bazley will shift to the bench as a result.
Jan 15, 2022
Coming off bench
Wiggins will come off the bench Saturday against the Cavaliers, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
ANALYSIS
OKC will go big against the Cavaliers, so Wiggins will come off the bench. As a reserve, he's averaged 3.7 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 14.2 minutes.
Jan 11, 2022
Joins starting five
Wiggins will start Tuesday's game against the Wizards, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After a one-game stint off the bench, Wiggins returns to the starting five. In his past eight starts, he's averaged 14.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.1 steals in 30.6 minutes.
Jan 10, 2022
Limited in return to bench Sunday
Wiggins finished Sunday's 99-95 loss to the Nuggets with eight points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, three assists, one block and one steal across 19 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins moved back to the bench in the loss, logging just 19 minutes. It is unclear whether this was simply a matchup-based decision or something the Thunder are going to roll with, at least for the short term. He had been starting prior to Sunday and while his production was far from spectacular, he had been contributing on most nights. His role is certainly not one that is going to shift the fantasy needle, and so this is only relevant to those in deeper formats.
Jan 8, 2022
Another double figure performance
Wiggins closed with 13 points (5-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and two steals in 26 minutes during Friday's 135-105 loss to Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins has scored in double figures in seven straight games -- all starts -- and is averaging 15.3 points and 5.6 rebounds in 31.7 minutes during that stretch. The rookie second-round pick is certainly worth fantasy consideration if he continues to operate in his current role.
Dec 30, 2021
Scores career -high 22 points
Wiggins finished Wednesday's 115-97 loss to the Suns with 22 points (10-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and two steals over 38 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins' contribution was vital in Wednesday's loss. With several Thunder players sidelined, the 2021 second-round pick showed his value, and he'll probably earn additional playing time due to his standout performances. Considering Oklahoma City's record, they don't have much to lose.
Dec 29, 2021
Makes third-straight start
Wiggins had 14 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, one block and one steal across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 117-111 loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
The Thunder have put their second-round pick to work over the past week and he has risen to the challenge. Over three starts, the Maryland product has averaged 14.3 points and 4.7 rebounds. Wiggins will eventually return to the bench once Josh Giddey and Darius Bazley clear health and safety protocols.
Dec 27, 2021
Upgraded to available
Wiggins (COVID-19 protocols) has been upgraded to available for Tuesday's game against the Kings, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins was placed in the league's health and safety protocols earlier Monday, but it looks as though he may have returned a false positive test, as the team is now listing him as available. It's unlikely that he'll be restricted Tuesday since he wasn't forced to miss any time. The 2021 second-round pick is coming off of a season-high 24 points in Sunday's win over the Pelicans.
Dec 27, 2021
Enters protocols
Wiggins entered the league's COVID-19 protocols Monday.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins, Aleksej Pokusevski and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl each entered protocols Monday, bringing the Thunder's team total up to five players. All three figure to miss the next 7-to-10 days, so Wiggins will likely sit out at least the next four games. The 2021 second-round pick is coming off of a season-high 24 points in Sunday's win over the Pelicans.
Dec 27, 2021
Explodes on career-best night
Wiggins ended with 24 points (8-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 32 minutes during Sunday's 117-112 win over New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins produced easily the best game of his short career and is beginning to make some noise as a deep league consideration. The Thunder are obviously looking to develop whatever talent they can find on the roster, meaning Wiggins could very well be in line for a few extra minutes moving forward. Of course, this is just one game and so we would like to see a bit more consistency before calling his name from the rooftops. For now, keep an eye on his production and just tuck him away on your watchlist.
Dec 23, 2021
Draws start Thursday
Wiggins will start Thursday's contest against the Suns, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
ANALYSIS

Dec 20, 2021
Heads to bench
Wiggins will come off the bench Monday against the Grizzlies, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins started the past two games for Oklahoma City and averaged 4.5 points and 2.5 rebounds in 20.5 minutes. Derrick Favors will take his place in the starting five, which pushes Jeremiah Robinson-Earl to power forward.
Dec 18, 2021
Recalled, starting Saturday
Wiggins has been recalled from the G League and is starting Saturday's game against the Clippers, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Darius Bazley will come off the bench while Wiggins starts. The rookie is averaging 3.0 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 15.2 minutes.
Dec 15, 2021
Finishes as minus-23 in 23 minutes
Wiggins supplied four points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 113-110 loss to the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Starting in place of Luguentz Dort (ankle), Wiggins did not do much with the opportunity, as he took just four shots in 23 minutes and finished as a team-worst minus-23 in a game the Thunder lost by only three points. Wiggins was similarly quiet in his last start against Utah on Nov. 24, when he finished with just one point, three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 26 minutes.
Dec 15, 2021
Starting for OKC
Wiggins will start Wednesday's game against the Pelicans, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins hasn't seen NBA action since Dec. 1 while playing in the G League, but he's back with the Thunder and will start in place of Luguentz Dort (ankle). Wiggins has averaged 2.9 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 14.4 minutes across his 14 NBA appearances,
Nov 24, 2021
Receives first start
Wiggins will start Wednesday's game against the Jazz, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins has been with Oklahoma City over the past couple weeks and averaged 4.0 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 16.6 minutes off the bench. The rookie second-round pick figures to have a more significant role Wednesday as he makes his first career start.
Aug 15, 2021
Signs two-way contract
Wiggins signed a two-way contract with the Thunder, Steve McGehee of News 9 Oklahoma City reports.
ANALYSIS
Thanks to a strong start to the Summer League for Wiggins, the Thunder have agreed to bring him onto the team with a two-way contract. Wiggins played well off the bench for the Thunder against the Pelicans in their second Summer League game. The guard finished with a team-high 16 points to go along with five rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block in 23 minutes. The No. 55 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft will likely compete for playing time with Ty Jerome and Svi Mykhailiuk.
