Hawks agree to acquire Wiggins from Thunder, AP source says. They also extend McCollum

ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Hawks have agreed to a deal to acquire wing Aaron Wiggins from the Oklahoma City Thunder, a person with knowledge of the agreement told The Associated Press on Monday.

The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the deal, first reported by ESPN, has not been announced. The Thunder will receive second-round draft picks in 2030 and 2032.

Wiggins joins the Hawks after a five-year stint with the Thunder, which he helped win the 2025 NBA championship.

Wiggins, 27, averaged 9.4 points and 3.1 rebounds last season. He started 21 of 65 games. He averaged 12 points during the 2024-25 season.

The Hawks also gave guard C.J. McCollum a one-year, $21 million deal.

“We’re really excited to have C.J. back," president of basketball operations and general manager Onsi Saleh said Monday. "You guys saw what he did last season when he came in. He’s been an ultimate professional veteran for our team. The guy can hoop, just an amazing basketball player. So we’re super excited to have C.J. back here and bring that continuity together.”

The Hawks have two first-round picks in the NBA draft on Tuesday night. The addition of Wiggins and the new deal with McCollum strengthens the team's perimeter game entering the draft.

McCollum was acquired alongside Corey Kispert in the January trade that sent four-time All-Star Trae Young to the Washington Wizards. The 6-foot-3 point guard quickly worked his way into the Hawks' starting lineup, replacing 2024 No. 1 pick Zaccharie Risacher.

The 34-year-old added veteran presence to a starting five that included first-time All-Star Jalen Johnson, 2026 NBA Most Improved Player Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Dyson Daniels and Onyeka Okongwu.

He averaged 18.7 points, 3.1 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 41 regular-season games with Atlanta. McCollum helped the Hawks to two wins in the first round of the NBA playoffs against the eventual champion New York Knicks — a feat that no other team was able to accomplish in the postseason.

Approaching his 14th year in the league, McCollum spent nine years with the Trail Blazers before stints with the Pelicans and Wizards.

Saleh said he feels confident about having picks Nos. 8 and 23 in the draft.

“We're really excited about adding a couple of guys and seeing how the process goes," Saleh said. “We've said this before, no skipping steps. We want to grow this thing out organically, and I just feel like we're going to add two really good players tomorrow in the draft, and we have a lot of opportunities moving forward with this group.”

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The Utah Mammoth have signed coach André Tourigny and assistant Blaine Forsythe to new multi-year contracts.

The Mammoth also announced Monday they have signed Adam Foote to a multi-year deal as an assistant on Tourigny's staff. Foote was fired as coach of the Vancouver Canucks on May 19.

Before the team's move to Utah, Tourigny was hired by the Arizona Coyotes in 2021 and was given a three-year extension in 2023.

“André and Blaine have both been instrumental in building the foundation for our organization and will be critical in our continued success and leadership moving forward,” Mammoth general manager Bill Armstrong said in a statement released by the team.

“André is an excellent leader, communicator, and person, who is extremely well respected by our players and our staff. Blaine’s an experienced, knowledgeable, and Stanley Cup-winning coach who has a strong body of work running the power play."

Foote lasted only one season as Vancouver's coach after being promoted from his job as an assistant on the staff but landed a new home in Utah in only one month.

“We are also thrilled to have Adam, a two-time Stanley Cup champion and 2002 Olympic gold medalist right here in Salt Lake, join the organization and bring a fresh perspective to our room backed by years of experience as both a player and coach," Armstrong said. "This is another exciting day for the organization.”

Utah finished 43-33-6 and made the playoffs i n the 2025-26 season under Tourigny. It was the team's second season in Utah.

“I am grateful to the organization and feel fortunate to work alongside such an exceptional coaching staff and dedicated group of players, whose collective hard work and commitment to each other have fostered a culture we can be proud of,” Tourigny said. "My family and I love being in Utah and look forward to deepening our roots here.”

This story has been corrected to show that Adam Foote coached Vancouver for one season, not Arizona.
