Andrew Wiggins, who was acquired by the Miami Heat in a trade at the NBA trading deadline, was held out of Monday night’s game against the New York Knicks due to a leg contusion. This was the eighth game Wiggins has missed since joining the Heat, with previous absences due to various injuries and illnesses. Despite his recent performance, including an eight-point game against the Memphis Grizzlies, Wiggins has been struggling to find his rhythm with his new team. In Wiggins’ absence, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra adjusted the lineup, starting with a smaller lineup at Madison Square Garden. This change included Haywood Highsmith starting for the first time since early February. The Heat will next play against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night. Wiggins’ presence on the court will be missed as the Heat continue to navigate his integration into the team and work towards finding success in future games.
