Andrew Wiggins has yet to play in the NBA preseason.

Kerr added that Wiggins is on track to be ready for the start of the regular season.
Via Kendra Andrews of ESPN: “(1) Andrew Wiggins participated in practice today after missing all of camp in Hawaii. He did not take part in the live-action portion of the day, and he will not play on Wednesday. (2) Wiggins is still on track to be ready by the start of the regular season. Kerr said Wiggins came back from summer in great shape and doesn’t expect this to set him back too much.”
