Wiggins began his college basketball career with the Kansas Jayhawks before declaring for the NBA draft.
He was selected first overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2014 but was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves before his rookie season.
After five and a half seasons with Minnesota, he joined the Golden State Warriors in 2020, where he won an NBA championship in 2022 and earned his first All-Star selection. In February 2025, Wiggins was traded to the Miami Heat as part of a multi-team deal that brought Jimmy Butler to the Warriors.
Since joining Miami, Wiggins has been a key contributor, averaging 17.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game, with a field goal percentage of 43.9%.
