Andrew Wiggins’ collapse is threatening to derail the Heat’s entire season

Alexy Berson of All U Can Heat argues that forward Andrew Wiggins has suffered a severe drop in form that threatens Miami's season. Wiggins is averaging under nine points per game while shooting under 30 percent from 3-point range, accompanied by declining defensive impact and effort. Berson notes Wiggins currently holds the 12th-worst plus-minus among all NBA players.

Head coach Erik Spoelstra has decreased Wiggins' playing time to 26 minutes per game, occasionally favoring Ryan Conwell. The writer warns that without a turnaround, Wiggins' contract extension could quickly become one of the league's worst, giving younger players like Conwell, Nikola Jovic, and Pelle Larsson opportunities to take on larger roles.
