Andrew Wiggins Misses Friday's Game
Andrew Wiggins (ankle) will not be in action on Friday against the Indiana Pacers. He drops out of the lineup due to a right ankle sprain. With Wiggins on the shelf, Duncan Robinson and Jaime Jaquez Jr. may play larger roles in the rotation. The latter has logged just 15 total minutes across the last two games. Wiggins was initially listed as questionable for Friday's game, so it appears that his injury isn't too serious. The former Warrior will get his first chance to return on Sunday against the New York Knicks.

Andrew Wiggins Tagged As Questionable For Wednesday
Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) is considered questionable for Wednesday's tilt against the Chicago Bulls. Wiggins appears to be nearing his return, but he may still be forced to sit out a seventh consecutive game due to right hamstring tendinopathy. Pelle Larsson has become a regular starter during Wiggins' absence, although his performances tend to vary significantly. His average numbers for the last six games stand at 10.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 2.2 steals. Duncan Robinson has also taken on a larger role recently and could be in for a big night against a team that allows the fourth-most three-point attempts in the league.

Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) will be out for a sixth consecutive game on Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Wiggins' next chance to return will be on Wednesday night against the Chicago Bulls. Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra mentioned that Wiggins is "very close" to returning, so we should see him before the regular season draws to a close. Pelle Larsson has rolled as a starter during Wiggins' absence, with Duncan Robinson and Kyle Anderson receiving more minutes off the bench.
