Aaron Wiggins Returns to Starting Lineup for Oklahoma City Thunder
Oklahoma City Thunder‘s Aaron Wiggins will be reinstated into the starting lineup for Sunday’s game against the Dallas Mavericks, as reported by Clemente Almanza of USA Today. This marks his third start in five games, indicating a rotation trial by the team amidst lineup experiments following Chet Holmgren‘s hip injury.
Wiggins has averaged 9.5 points, 3.5 assists, and 3.0 rebounds in 23.5 minutes per game during his previous two starts. His return to the starting five will see Cason Wallace moving back to the bench. This reshuffle is part of the Thunder’s strategic adjustments as they continue to experiment with different lineups in Holmgren’s absence.
Managerial decisions indicate Wiggins’ versatility and potential impact, having also contributed as a substitute. In seven appearances off the bench, he has maintained a commendable average of 10.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.0 assists over 20.1 minutes per game.
