The former All-Star headed to South Beach as part of the Jimmy Butler deal, and while Wiggins' arrival did not exactly make the Heat instant championship contenders, there's no denying that he showed a lot of potential in Erik Spoelstra's system.
Wiggins averaged 19.0 points on 45.8% shooting, 4.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.2 steals, 1.0 blocks and 2.1 triples in 32.1 minutes per game. The Heat, however, went 6-11 during this stretch.

Wiggins recently grabbed the attention of fans on social media because of a rather cryptic Instagram post. The Heat forward posted an all-black photo on his Instagram stories, which was accompanied by an excerpt from EBK Jaaybo's song entitled "Felt That In My Soul."

"Been feeling pain since you left, I felt that in my soul spiritually. Walking this earth without you here just feels so weird to me," the lyrics of the song said.
While there is really no way to tell what exactly Wiggins was trying to convey with his post here, more than a few fans could not help but feel worried for the 30-year-old.
"Someone needa check up on Wiggins man," the caption of an X post read.
"Much love pray all is well @22wiggins ❤️" a comment said.
"🙏🏾😫" reacted a user.
"He's been a lemon for us but hopefully he's alright mentally," said another.

"Damn 💔" a supporter wrote.
"Watching your father pass on slowly over the course of 2 years has to alter your brain. No other way around it," declared a fan.
As that last comment indicated, some users assumed that Wiggins' post was connected to the death of his father, Mitchell Wiggins, in September 2024. His passing followed an extended period of declining health, which forced Andrew Wiggins to take multiple leaves of absence from the Warriors to be with his family.
