Rotowire
Wiggins won't start Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
With the Thunder resting their regulars, Wiggins drew a spot start Friday and posted 30 points in 32 minutes. However, the usual starting five is back in action, so Wiggins, Isaiah Joe, Kenrich Williams, Ousmane Dieng and Jaylin Williams are all shifting to bench roles.
Wiggins amassed 30 points (13-26 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Friday's 107-89 win over the Trail Blazers.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's (rest) absence allowed additional usage for Wiggins and Isaiah Joe.

The Maryland product has logged 20 starts this season and has started in five of his last seven games.
