Overview
- The Miami Heat are 4-11 since acquiring Andrew Wiggins in a trade that sent Jimmy Butler to the Golden State Warriors, who have gone 12-1 in that span.
- Wiggins' shooting percentages have declined, with 40.8% from the field and 31.3% from beyond the arc, both below his career averages.
- Injuries and missed games have hindered Wiggins' impact, as he has played in only 8 of 15 games since joining the Heat.
- The Heat are at risk of losing critical draft picks to the Oklahoma City Thunder and Charlotte Hornets due to protections tied to their performance this season.
- Bam Adebayo and Erik Spoelstra express cautious optimism that Wiggins can regain his All-Star form, but time is running out with the team in a desperate play-in race.
