Wiggins' next chance to suit up will come after the All-Star break against Toronto on Feb. 21.

Heat's Andrew Wiggins: Shoots poorly in team debut
Rotowire
Wiggins provided 11 points (3-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes during Monday's 103-85 loss to the Celtics.
Making his Heat debut, Wiggins struggled to make an impact offensively, but his opponent may have had something to do with that. He managed only four points the last time he faced Boston on Jan. 20 while he was still with Golden State, and Miami as a team shot just 33.7 percent from the field on the night. Wiggins also didn't get a chance to start building chemistry with Tyler Herro (illness) on Monday, but once the Heat's lineup is at full strength, the 29-year-old forward's numbers should improve.

Heat's Andrew Wiggins: Traded to Miami
Rotowire
Wiggins has been traded to the Heat in a deal involving Jimmy Butler being shipped to the Warriors, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Wiggins is one of three players that Golden State included in a blockbuster trade to acquire Butler ahead of Thursday's deadline. Dennis Schroder and Kyle Anderson were included in the deal, along with a first-round draft pick. The veteran Wiggins is arguably the best asset sent to the Heat and will likely play a significant role in Miami with Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo.

Wiggins has scored at least 20 points in five of his last seven appearances, averaging 20.1 points per game and shooting 42.6 percent from the floor in that span.

Wiggins was held to a mere four points in the 40-point loss to the Celtics on Monday, but he bounced back admirably and led the Warriors in scoring Wednesday. That subpar outing against the Celtics was likely just a bump in the road for Wiggins, who has surpassed the 20-point mark in four of his last five games. The veteran is averaging 18.9 points per game since the beginning of January.

He's reached the 20-point mark in his last three outings, a span in which he's shooting 47.1 percent from the floor and 37 percent from beyond the arc.
