Andrew Wiggins (ankle) has been cleared to play ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. As expected, Wiggins has been cleared to play after being listed as probable on the injury report. Wiggins is back in action after missing the last two games due to an ankle issue. He should move back into the starting five and have his regular role in the rotation.
Jaime Jaquez Jr. and
Haywood Highsmith will likely see reduced roles with Wiggins back in the mix.

Andrew Wiggins (ankle) appeared on the injury report for Friday's matchup with the Houston Rockets but is considered probable despite the ankle impingement. Wiggins' tenure in Miami has been bumpy so far as he's appeared in 10 of a possible 19 games and has averaged 18.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.0 blocks per contest with shooting splits of .422/.309/.755. His value is undeniable when he is on the court though, especially for fantasy managers in the playoffs of category leagues. With his return,
Jaime Jaquez Jr. will likely take the biggest fantasy hit as he moves back to the bench.

Andrew Wiggins (lower leg) will be out of action for Wednesday's matchup with the Detroit Pistons. He has been dealing with a lower left leg contusion, and it will be the second game in a row he's missed.
Jaime Jaquez Jr. could see a busy night with the veteran Wiggins sidelined after he finished with six points, 11 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal across 30 minutes in a 116-95 loss to the Knicks on Monday.

Andrew Wiggins (lower leg) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Detroit Pistons. He has been left nursing a lower left leg contusion and may sit out a second consecutive game.
Jaime Jaquez Jr. has a chance to remain in the starting lineup if Wiggins doesn't return on Wednesday. He has averaged 12.4 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.9 steals in a starting role this season.
Haywood Highsmith also plays a more important role with Wiggins out, but he rarely contributes significantly in fantasy terms.
