Al Shurtah Police (Superleague) added to their roster experienced 35-year old American forward Antwaine Wiggins (203cm-1988, college: Charleston) for season 2024-25. Wiggins joins another USA player Amin Abuhawwas who is already in the roster.
He played last season at Al Naft. In 6 West Asia Super League games in Iraq he recorded very impressive stats: 16.8ppg, 5.3rpg, 2.0apg and 2.2spg. He also spent pre-season at Al Ittihad (SBL) in Syrian league.
In 2016 (four years after his graduation) he was drafted by Raptors 905 (D-League) in second round (43rd overall).
He graduated from College of Charleston in 2012 and it will be his 13th (hopefully lucky) season in pro basketball.
Wiggins is quite experienced player. His career allowed him to visit five different continents, while he played in six different countries. He tasted the life as pro basketball player in Europe, Asia, Latin America, Africa and of course North America. Wiggins has played previously professionally in Argentina (Platense), Brazil (Palmeiras), Greece (PAOK Mateco Thessaloniki, Lavrio and Ifaistos), Qatar (Al Ahli Sports Club Doha), Libya (Ahly Benghazi) and NBA G League (Raptors 905 Mississauga). Wiggins' team won Iraqi Cup in 2024. He was voted to Eurobasket.com All-Greek A1 Honorable Mention back in 2018 and 2020.
