Andrew Wiggins is skating on thin ice with Heat before another Warriors meeting

Writer Peter O'Keefe argues that Andrew Wiggins enters Thursday's game against his former team, the Golden State Warriors, under intense pressure following a poor start to the season with the Miami Heat. Wiggins' role has diminished amid his struggles, and head coach Erik Spoelstra benched him for the entirety of overtime during Miami's recent win over the L.A. Clippers.

On the season, Wiggins is averaging 9.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.4 assists while shooting 42.9% from the field and 31.4% from three-point range. O'Keefe notes that Wiggins currently ranks with one of the league's worst plus-minus marks, prompting growing questions regarding whether he should remain in Miami's starting lineup.
