The Atlanta Hawks are acquiring guard/forward Aaron Wiggins from the Oklahoma City Thunder, according to @ShamsCharania. Wiggins, who was originally selected with the No. 55 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, has developed into a championship-caliber role player during his tenure within the Thunder organization.
During his time in Oklahoma City, Wiggins became a key contributor off the bench, known for his defensive versatility and efficient perimeter shooting. He now joins an up-and-coming Hawks team looking to bolster its wing depth and add established talent to its rotation. Wiggins has been a staple of the Thunder culture, evolving from a late second-round pick into a reliable rotation piece for one of the Western Conference's top seeds.
The specific terms of the move and the compensation heading back to the Oklahoma City Thunder have not yet been fully disclosed. This acquisition marks another move for the Hawks as they continue to reshape their roster for the upcoming season. Wiggins averaged 6.9 points per game while shooting 49.2% from three-point range during the 2023-24 campaign.
