“Hopefully in the next couple games I can find my way back on the court,” Wiggins said.

The 30-year-old has usually been a durable player in his career, but with the Heat, has missed 13 games in total which includes the aforementioned hamstring issue, an ankle injury, a lower leg problem, and even was absent due to a stomach illness. The last he played was on March 27 against the Atlanta Hawks as besides saying the current issue had been “lingering”, Wiggins spoke how “frustrating” it has been.

“It has definitely been frustrating just because I want to be out there playing with the guys and just fighting. I feel like this is a newer thing for me,” Wiggins said. “I feel like usually I play a lot of games throughout the season. Being hurt sucks. But we have a great training staff here, great physical therapy guys here. So they’re just getting me right.”

Heat’s Andrew Wiggins doesn’t see injury as a “major setback”

The constant conversation surrounding Wiggins has been his comfortability with the Heat since it’s a new team and while the production on the court has been good, the injuries have acted as many hurdles in his path. However, Wiggins doesn’t look at it as a “major setback,” instead he’s been putting in work behind the scenes.

“Don’t think it’s a major setback just because I’m able to watch and observe the team and kind of have a view of what’s going on,” Wiggins said. “I feel like when I come back, I’ve been putting in a lot of work with what I can do.”

“I believe in myself and the team’s been rolling,” Wiggins continued. “So just being out there and trying to contribute to winning and do whatever the team needs me to do, I think I’ll be in a good spot.”

In good news for Wiggins, he was announced by the team on Sunday as being upgraded to questionable for Monday’s game against the 76ers.

Erik Spoelstra is proud of how the Heat are playing without key stars

While Wiggins will be crucial for Miami, especially in terms of the play-in tournament and possibly the playoffs, the team has shown improvement displayed in the six-game winning streak. Even to some degree, the past two losses as said by head coach Erik Spoelstra as he expressed pleasure in how the unit has played minus some key stars.

“I love the way our team is playing, I love the way we’re competing, I love not making excuses for guys out,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said defiantly after the defeat. “This is a hard-nosed team right now and we just have to stay the course. Nothing has really dramatically changed. We want to win as many as we can going down the stretch. But, yeah, obviously this was a tough one.”

“You’re talking about Niko being out, Wiggs being out, Tyler being out and our guys are not going to give up any inch of ground,” Spoelstra said after Saturday’s defeat.

At any rate, Miami is now 35-43 which puts them 10th in the Eastern Conference as the team next faces the 76ers on Monday night.
