Hawks guard Aaron Wiggins is probable for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat with a knee issue, and his status remains day-to-day. Atlanta is 2-2 and has lost two straight, so the Hawks expect to have one of their top scorers for the home game against Miami.
What happened
Aaron Wiggins is day-to-day with a knee issue. The official injury report updated his status at 5:17 PM ET on Wednesday, Oct. 28, and his status did not change from the previous day-to-day listing. The report's comment says Wiggins (knee) is probable for Wednesday against Miami. The issue is in his left knee, and he has been day-to-day since Tuesday, Oct. 27. The specific injury has not been announced. The 27-year-old guard was also day-to-day earlier in October, first for a lip issue and then for rest.
What it means for the Hawks
Atlanta hosts the Heat at 7:00 PM ET on Wednesday. The Hawks are 2-2, seventh in the standings, and have lost two in a row. Wiggins has played in all four games and is averaging 15.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 27.1 minutes. If he is limited, the guard minutes would go mostly to Nickeil Alexander-Walker (29.6 minutes, 18.8 points), Dyson Daniels (28.8, 13.3), CJ McCollum (26.4, 17.3) and Luguentz Dort (22.6, 8.8). Jalen Johnson leads the team at 32.5 minutes and 21.5 points. Atlanta is 2-2 with Wiggins and has not played a game without him.
What to watch
Watch for his final status before tipoff against Miami. No return date has been announced because none has been needed so far, since he is listed as probable. The Hawks are also without two frontcourt players. Henri Veesaar is out with a right knee injury and Mouhamed Gueye is out with a left foot injury. A healthy Wiggins would help Atlanta's thin rotation as it tries to end its two-game skid against the Heat.
