The Oklahoma City Thunder have signed Aaron Wiggins to a full-time NBA contract of four years, $6.4 million, per The Athletic’s Shams Charania. The Thunder have a team option for the fourth year. The second-round rookie was previously on a two-way deal with the Thunder.
The NBA’s two-way contract usually limits a player’s game appearances to just 50 per season, but due to alarmingly increasing health and safety protocol cases, that is not the case this season. The 55th-overall-pick has played in 31 games — 18 starts — and has averaged 7.4 points and 5.3 rebounds a game. After a five-game absence due to a right ankle sprain, Wiggins is set to make his return on Saturday night against the Chicago Bulls.
The Thunder now have an open two-way roster spot with the other one being occupied by Lindy Waters III, who took over Paul Watson’s spot.
