Wigginton scored his first two points for the Bucks on Thursday night during the fourth quarter of a game against the Golden State Warriors.

He finished the game playing more than five minutes and added a steal to go along with his basket.

The Bucks ended up winning that game 118-99.

Bedford’s Nate Darling of the Charlotte Hornets was the first Nova Scotian to play for the NBA, and later score, last year.
