Wiggins (ankle) is optimistic that he'll be cleared to play Wednesday against Houston, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
Wiggins was held out of Sunday's 114-106 win over the Timberwolves due to a right ankle impingement, but with additional time to heal before Wednesday's NBA Cup matchup, the forward believes he'll be ready to go by then. Prior to his absence Sunday, Wiggins had played at least 30 minutes in six of his last seven appearances, averaging 17.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.7 three-pointers, 2.3 assists and 1.3 steals during that stretch.
