Smart ejected after ‘cheap shot’ shove of Embiid

The Milwaukee Bucks have signed Lindell Wigginton to a Two-Way contract.

A 6-1 guard, Wigginton has played in 35 games (18 starts) with the Wisconsin Herd this season and is averaging 18.6 points, 5.8 assists and 3.9 rebounds in 33.5 minutes per game. This is Wigginton’s second stint with the Bucks after he appeared in 19 games with the team last season while on a Two-Way contract. In those 19 games, the Iowa State product averaged 4.2 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 10.5 minutes of action.

After going undrafted in the 2019 NBA Draft, Wigginton has played in 117 NBA G League games over the last four seasons, including 60 games (36 starts) with the Herd since 2020. The 24-year-old also played professionally in both Israel and Canada.

Milwaukee’s roster is now at 17 players.

Chatter arose last week that the Minnesota Timberwolves may have interest in trading guard Donte DiVincenzo. However, Marc Stein of The Stein Line reports that the Wolves have zero interest in moving DiVincenzo.

Minnesota acquired the veteran shooting guard as part of the deal that saw the Timberwolves swap Karl-Anthony Towns for Julius Randle. DiVincenzo has gotten off to a very slow start with the Wolves, sparking some to suggest that the team may look at moving him in another deal.

DiVincenzo makes $11.4 million this season, follow by two more seasons for $24.5 million total. That’s an easily tradable number, but Minnesota is likely banking a return to form for the veteran shooter.
