Andrew Wiggins Off Miami's Injury Report After October Scare
Andrew Wiggins is not on the Heat's injury report after cycling through a run of day-to-day designations earlier in October. The 31-year-old forward has played in four games this month, with a 19-point night against Brooklyn the highlight. He's bringing a steady 2025-26 season into his 12th year, when he averaged 15.4 points for Miami.

Wiggins is not on Miami's injury report right now. That's a turnaround from early October, when he bounced between designations — an illness listing on Oct. 7, cleared on Oct. 8, a rest-related day-to-day note on Oct. 10, then another day-to-day entry before being cleared again on Oct. 14. None of it kept him out of the lineup for long. He suited up and played in games on Oct. 8, Oct. 14 and Oct. 16 despite the back-and-forth listings, which points to routine in-season management rather than anything serious. For a wing entering his 12th season at 31 years old, that kind of maintenance is normal, and he's fully available for Miami's rotation at forward as things stand.
02Last Season's NumbersWiggins played 68 games for Miami in 2025-26 and averaged 15.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 30.3 minutes…
Wiggins played 68 games for Miami in 2025-26 and averaged 15.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 30.3 minutes a night. He shot 47.5 percent from the field and 41.4 percent from three, with a 78.4 free-throw percentage and a 58.6 true shooting mark — efficient numbers for a wing his size. He also chipped in 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks per game, with just 1.5 turnovers, while carrying a 19.4 usage rate as a complementary piece rather than a primary scorer. His plus-minus landed at a near-neutral 0.1. Those are the numbers he carries into 2026-27 as a known quantity in Miami's frontcourt mix.
03Recent GamesOver his last four outings, Wiggins has shown he can still score when called on.
Over his last four outings, Wiggins has shown he can still score when called on. He had 19 points and six rebounds in 21.8 minutes in a win over Brooklyn on Oct. 14, then 13 points in 15.1 minutes in a loss to Orlando on Oct. 16. Earlier, he scored 13 points in a win over New Orleans on Oct. 8 and 12 points in a win over Toronto on Oct. 3, both in under 16 minutes. He's reached double figures in all four games even as his minutes have swung from roughly 13 to nearly 22, which tracks with a team easing him back in after the earlier injury-report entries.
04Role on the RosterWiggins returns to Miami for 2026-27 wearing No.
Wiggins returns to Miami for 2026-27 wearing No. 22, listed at forward, 6-foot-6 and 210 pounds. He's entering his 12th NBA season out of Kansas, giving the Heat an experienced wing who can guard multiple positions and space the floor — his 41.4 percent mark from three last season was among the best of his career. At 31, he's not the youngest player on the roster, but his two-way skill set and track record make him a steady presence. The swinging minutes totals in his recent games suggest a staggered role early this season, with his court time moving from game to game rather than locked in at a fixed number.
05What's Being SaidA Heat Notes roundup published Sept.
A Heat Notes roundup published Sept. 22 touched on the team's starting five and mentioned Wiggins alongside Thompson, Larsson and Conwell, without laying out any specific lineup decisions. It reads as a preseason notes item that surfaces names without settling anything, and nothing since has pointed to a firm call on how Miami's rotation will shake out. For now, Wiggins' own game logs are the clearer signal of where he fits — he's been on the floor in every game referenced here, scoring in double figures each time.
