Thunder's Aaron Wiggins: 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.
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, he'll provide plenty of value off the bench thanks to his floor spacing and ability to defend both wings and forwards.

Aaron Wiggins: 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.
Wiggins' efficiency was through the roof last season, during which he shot 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. By doing this, the Thunder allow themselves to spend $30 million before potentially re-signing both Isaiah Joe and Wiggins. 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.

Thunder's Aaron Wiggins: 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.
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.

Thunder's Aaron Wiggins: 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.
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 decline his club option for the 2024-25 season.

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

Thunder's Aaron Wiggins: 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.
Wiggins moved to the starting lineup due to the absences of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quad), Gordon Hayward (leg) and Jalen Williams (ankle). Wiggins took advantage of the opportunity by 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 he could stay in the first unit if Oklahoma City remains shorthanded over the final week of the regular season.

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

Thunder's Aaron Wiggins: 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.
With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) and Jalen Williams (ankle) inactive, Wiggins got the starting nod and led all players in Tuesday's contest with a trio of steals. Wiggins has started two games this year, both of which have taken place over the Thunder's last three contests, posting at least 15 points and four rebounds in both outings. Wiggins has swiped three or more steals in four games, but this was the first time he reached that feat as a starter.

Thunder's Aaron Wiggins: Starting against 76ers
Wiggins will start Tuesday's game against the 76ers, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
The Thunder are without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) and Jalen Williams (ankle), so Wiggins is likely to get plenty of minutes and usage. The Thunder could also utilize Cason Wallace and Isaiah Joe a bit more with their two leading scorers sidelined.

Thunder's Aaron Wiggins: Starting Friday
Wiggins will start at shooting gaurd in Friday's game versus the Suns, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
The Thunder will opt to shake things up in their backcourt with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) sidelined by replacing Cason Wallace with Wiggins. It will be the 25-year-old's first start this season.

Thunder's Aaron Wiggins: 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.
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.

Thunder's Aaron Wiggins: 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.
Wiggins led all bench scorers in the double-overtime thriller, reaching 20 points for the second time this season. He's been a key part of the second unit for the Thunder lately, averaging 12.4 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 21.3 minutes over his last eight appearances. However, expect Wiggins to see a slight downturn in playing time if Jalen Williams (ankle) is able to put an end to his three-game absence Tuesday in Utah.
