Thunder's Aaron Wiggins: Muted role continues
Rotowire
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.
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 season, Wiggins had been playing upwards of 25 minutes per game, turning in tangible production. However, it now looks as though OKC is comfortable using him in a limited role, although that could change at any point.
Wiggins accumulated no counting stats in 10 minutes during Saturday's 111-96 victory over Houston.
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, following a string of three straight games with at least 12 points. The Thunder have the luxury of chopping and changing their rotation, making Wiggins a tough player to trust moving forward.
