The Bucks waived Wigginton on Sunday.
Milwaukee opened up two of its three two-way slots by cutting loose Wigginton and center Marques Bolden. Wigginton has been with the Bucks organization since the 2021-22 season, making him a strong candidate to stick with the franchise's G League affiliate, the Wisconsin Herd, upon clearing waivers. The 25-year-old appeared in just three games at the NBA level in 2023-24.

Rotowire
Wigginton won't play in Friday's Summer League game against the Nuggets due to an undisclosed reason, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
AJ Green (undisclosed) will also be unavailable, but it's possible both players are simply resting the first half of a back-to-back set and will be available for Saturday's game against the Suns in Las Vegas.

Bucks' Lindell Wigginton: Drops back to bench role
Rotowire
Wigginton will appear off the bench Sunday versus the Raptors.
Wigginton impressed in a rare start Friday, but he'll move to the bench with Jevon Carter playing and receiving the starting nod at point guard. Even with the move, the Bucks may limit Carter's workload which would afford Wigginton a decent amount of action.
Wigginton logged 25 points (10-20 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, 11 assists and one block over 41 minutes during Friday's 137-114 loss to the Grizzlies.
Wigginton had the best game of his life Friday, putting up career-high numbers in points, assists, rebounds and three-pointers. Having secured the top spot in the East, the Bucks opted to rest all of their starters, something that could repeat itself Sunday. If that is the case, Wigginton is certainly someone to consider adding as a final-day flier.
