Heat's Andrew Wiggins: Ruled out Friday

Wiggins (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Celtics.

Wiggins is dealing with lower-back pain and will miss the second leg of Miami's back-to-back set, marking his first absence since Nov. 24. With the veteran forward sidelined, Jaime Jaquez, Simone Fontecchio and Kel'el Ware are candidates for increased minutes. Wiggins' next opportunity to suit up will come Sunday against the Knicks.
