Alan Wiggins Jr made his NBL debut with the Adelaide 36ers at 33 years of age. He scored two points in his first game.
Alan Wiggins Jr joined the Adelaide 36ers for the 2017/18 NBL season but unfortunately suffered a setback right from the start. In his debut game against the Sydney Kings, Wiggins sustained a broken arm that would require surgery, sidelining him for an extended period. The injury forced the 36ers to find a quick replacement to maintain their depth and competitiveness in the league.
To fill the void left by Wiggins, Adelaide signed former Sydney Kings star Josh Childress, who became a pivotal part of the 36ers’ rotation and brought valuable experience and skill to the lineup. Despite Wiggins’ early exit, the 36ers managed to overcome several injury setbacks throughout the season, eventually finishing second on the ladder and advancing to the Grand Final series. Although Wiggins’ time with Adelaide was brief and limited due to injury, his presence during the preseason contributed to the team’s depth and set the stage for a successful 2017/18 campaign.
Alan Wiggins Jr played in one NBL game during the 2017-18 season, scoring 2 points, 4 rebounds, and 0 assists.
