The NBA is a big association, with around 500 players in the league at any given time. But it is very rare to see families play together in the NBA. There have been quite a few pairs of brothers who have played at the highest level together such as –

- Lonzo Ball and LaMelo Ball
- Aaron Holiday, Jrue Holiday, and Justin Holiday
- Brook Lopez and Robin Lopez
- Pau Gasol and Marc Gasol
These are a few of the pairs of brothers that play in the league together. As of late, we’ve been seeing Aaron Wiggins do well in OKC. That has left people asking: Is he related to Andrew Wiggins?
Are Andrew Wiggins and Aaron Wiggins related?
To keep it short and simple, NO, the two Wiggins in the NBA aren’t related to each other.
Andrew Wiggins is a Canadian player who has played for the Golden State Warriors and Miami Heat. He was selected as the first pick in the 2014 NBA Draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers. Wiggins played one season of collegiate basketball with the Kansas Jayhawks before he enrolled for the NBA Draft. Andrew is an NBA champion, an All-Star, and a key member of the Heat franchise.
On the other hand, Aaron Wiggins is an American player who plays for the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was selected as the 55th pick in the 2021 NBA Draft by the Thunder and has played for their G-League affiliate and their NBA team. Aaron played collegiate basketball with Maryland for three seasons.
Surprisingly, Aaron has surged ahead of Andrew, establishing himself as an integral part of OKC. He is on the cusp of becoming an NBA champion, as the only hurdle in front of him is the Indiana Pacers.
