Heat’s Andrew Wiggins hopes to get more touches to break out of slump

Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins expressed hope to receive more offensive touches to help overcome his early-season struggles. Following a 13-point performance off the bench in Miami's 115-109 victory against the Utah Jazz on Tuesday, the veteran forward emphasized the importance of staying aggressive, playing free, and seeing the ball more often regardless of whether he plays with the starters or the second unit.

Head coach Erik Spoelstra recently moved Wiggins to the bench amid a difficult start that has seen the forward average career lows of 8.7 points and 2.8 rebounds per game. With teammates Bam Adebayo and Klay Thompson handling significant offensive volume, Wiggins stated he remains patient and committed to the coach's game plan.
