Andrew Wiggins of the Miami Heat speaks to the media during his introductory press conference.
The Miami Heat are set to pay a visit to the Charlotte Hornets on Friday, March 6. Going into the game, the Heat have a loaded injury report, which includes the former All-Star forward, Andrew Wiggins.
Currently dealing with bilateral patellar tendinitis, Wiggins was downgraded to doubtful for Friday’s action in North Carolina.
Barring any unexpected changes, it seems Wiggins has a small chance of getting the nod to play against the surging Hornets.

GettyAndrew Wiggins has been downgraded on the Miami Heat’s injury report for Friday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets.
It’s been a while for the veteran forward.
Andrew Wiggins’ last game missed was back on February 11. The Miami Heat took on the struggling New Orleans Pelicans at the time. Despite missing Wiggins for the night, the Heat defeated the Pelicans 123-111.
Wiggins returned to the court on February 20. He checked in for 27 minutes to face the Atlanta Hawks. At the time, Wiggins produced 13 points and seven rebounds in the 128-97 blowout victory.
Since then, Wiggins appeared in six-straight games for the Heat.
The 2025-2026 NBA season marks the first full year Wiggins is spending with the Heat. Last year, he was in the midst of his six-year tenure with the Golden State Warriors.
As the Warriors pursued a trade for the former Miami Heat star, Jimmy Butler, Wiggins ended up being in the returning package.
Last year, Wiggins appeared in 17 games for the Heat. He averaged 19.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.3 assists for the Heat.
This year, Wiggins dodged the trade noise throughout the season. The deadline came and went without the 30-year-old forward getting moved. Now, he’s got 57 games under his belt with the Heat this season.
Wiggins is averaging 15.9 points (47% FG, 39% 3PT), while coming down with 5.1 rebounds, and dishing out 2.8 assists per game.
If Wiggins doesn’t get the nod to play the Hornets on Friday, his next chance to take the court will come on Sunday, March 8, when the Heat host the Detroit Pistons.
