On August 15, media figure Jiang Nan disclosed the behind-the-scenes story of Shandong signing Wiggins.
According to media figure Jiang Nan’s report: “As far as I know, this time Shandong Men’s Basketball signing Wiggins had a bit of a fortuitous flavor. The team originally close to signing Wiggins delayed due to the budget needing leadership approval, ultimately allowing Shandong Men’s Basketball to sign Wiggins.”
Last season, Wiggins played 14 regular-season games and 12 playoff games for Xinjiang Men’s Basketball, averaging 15.7 points and 15.8 points per game respectively.
