Tuesday not only marks the first time that Jimmy Butler will face the Miami Heat since the team traded him to the Golden State Warriors, but the first time the Warriors will see Andrew Wiggins since trading him to Miami so they could acquire Butler.
Wiggins, a former No. 1 pick in the draft, was a key starter on the Warriors for five years. He played an especially important role in the Warriors NBA championship win over the Boston Celtics in 2022. During that series, Wiggins helped guard Celtics' star Jayson Tatum, led the Warriors in rebounds, blocks, and finished second on the team in scoring.
