CHICAGO (AP) — Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins returned to the lineup against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night after missing six games because of a right hamstring injury.
Wiggins had missed 15 of Miami’s 30 games due to a variety of ailments since the Heat acquired him from Golden State in the Jimmy Butler trade. Coach Erik Spoelstra said he would be “mindful” of his minutes against Chicago.
Wiggins came in averaging 18.2 points and 4.4 rebounds in 58 games with the Warriors and the Heat. He was averaging 19.9 points and 4.1 rebounds through 15 games with Miami.
The Heat had their top trio of Wiggins, Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro available for the first time since March 27. Miami and Chicago were tied for the final two spots in the Eastern Conference play-in tournament at 36-43 entering Wednesday's game.
The ninth-place team gets a home game against the 10th seed. The winner then visits the loser of the game between the seventh and eighth seeds. ___
