Andrew Wiggins' Official Status for Heat vs Pelicans

After a two-game road trip, the New Orleans Pelicans are set to finish the regular season out at home, starting with a Friday night contest against the Miami Heat.

Heat injury report for Friday at New Orleans:

The Heat have listed forward Andrew Wiggins as available for Friday night's contest in New Orleans. Dealing with a right hamstring injury, Wiggins was sidelined for six straight contests before returning in Miami's last game against the Chicago Bulls.

The main piece from the Jimmy Butler trade at the deadline, Wiggins has been good for the Heat in the times he has played. Unfortunately, he's battled several injuries since arriving in Miami and has appeared in only 16 games while Butler has appeared in 28 games for Golden State.

With the Heat still having a chance to host a play-in game against the Bulls, they'll be looking for a win with tip-off in New Orleans set for 8:00 p.m. EST.
