Aaron Wiggins Brings a Steady Wing Game to the Hawks
newsroom · 12 min agoAaron Wiggins enters the 2026-27 season with the Atlanta Hawks after spending last season with Oklahoma City. He is not on the injury report, and the roster move puts a career 35.6 percent three-point shooter into the Atlanta backcourt mix ahead of the opener.
New Team, New Season
Aaron Wiggins heads into the 2026-27 season with the Atlanta Hawks, wearing number 21 and listed as a guard. He stands 6-5, weighs 190 pounds, and is 27 years old with five seasons of NBA experience under his belt. Wiggins played college basketball at Maryland before turning pro. Last season he suited up for Oklahoma City, so this marks a fresh chapter for him in Atlanta. With training camp ahead and no regular-season games played yet this year, Wiggins arrives as a rotation piece the Hawks will look to plug into the backcourt. His combination of size for the position and outside shooting touch gives Atlanta another option on the wing.
Last Season by the Numbers
In 2025-26 with Oklahoma City, Wiggins appeared in 65 games, averaging 21.8 minutes per contest. He put up 9.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.4 blocks a night, with 1.2 turnovers per game. His shooting was efficient across the board: 43.1 percent from the field, 35.6 percent from three-point range, and 73.6 percent at the free-throw line, adding up to a 53.8 true shooting percentage. His usage rate sat at 19.4, and he posted a plus-minus of 2.7. Those numbers reflect a role player who did not need a heavy shot diet to be productive, leaning on efficiency rather than volume.
Injury Report
As of now, Wiggins is not on the injury report. There is no injury history listed for him, meaning he heads into the 2026-27 season with a clean bill of health. For a Hawks team piecing together its rotation, having a healthy wing available from day one is a straightforward positive. Nothing in his file points to lingering concerns from last season in Oklahoma City, and there are no setbacks to monitor as camp approaches. Barring any new developments once practices begin, Wiggins should be available for the start of the season without restriction.
What He Brings to Atlanta
The numbers from last season point to a wing who shoots it well and does not turn the ball over much, with only 1.2 turnovers per game against a 19.4 usage rate. A 35.6 percent clip from three and a 53.8 true shooting percentage suggest he can space the floor without needing plays run for him. His steal and block numbers, 0.9 and 0.4 per game, show some defensive activity as well. One data point from last season, a 10-point, 1-rebound, 1-assist line in 20.5 minutes in a win over Houston, fits the profile of a role player capable of scoring efficiently in a limited role off the bench or in a complementary starting spot.
Looking Ahead
With no games played yet in 2026-27, the season opener is still ahead for Wiggins and the Hawks. There are no rumors to report on his situation right now, and his focus heading into camp will be settling into a new locker room after his time in Oklahoma City. Given his efficiency last season, shooting over 43 percent from the field and 35.6 percent from three, Atlanta will look for him to provide steady minutes and floor spacing once the schedule kicks off. Fans will get their first look at how he fits into the Hawks' rotation once the regular season begins.
