The wait continues for James Wiseman, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 draft, and there’s no end in sight, Josh Schrock of NBC Sports Bay Area writes. The Warriors center required arthroscopic knee surgery in mid-December and is nine months removed from the meniscus surgery he underwent last April. The procedure in December cleaned up some swelling.
The Warriors had hoped Wiseman would make his season debut in February, but that remains uncertain.
“There’s just no blueprint for this,” coach Steve Kerr told KNBR, as Schrock relays. “This is such a unique set of circumstances, and we will just have to see how it plays out, and we thought it was going to play out very differently. We thought he would be back by now. I just feel so bad for James. He is working every day. … The poor guy is dealing with the injury, with the knee, and we just don’t know when he is going to turn the corner.”
We have more on the Warriors:
- Many people may question whether Andrew Wiggins deserved to be All-Star starter, as was revealed on Thursday, but the Warriors are thrilled about it, Connor Letorneau of the San Francisco Chronicle tweets. “Man, one of the proudest moments I’ve had as a coach, just to see what Wiggs has done since he got here. … I just could not be any happier for him,” Kerr said. “The whole organization is just glowing right now.”
- Andre Iguodala has missed the last three games with a hip injury and will miss at least the next two, Monte Poole of NBC Sports Bay Area tweets. Iguodala hasn’t played since a 31-minute stint against Indiana on Jan. 20.
- New COVID guidelines for entry into Chase Center were announced on Thursday and will take effect on February 1st. According to a team press release, Chase Center will require proof of either an up-to-date vaccination, including proof of a booster shot for eligible guests received at least one week prior to the event, or a negative COVID-19 test, taken within 24 hours (for antigen tests) or 48 hours (for PCR tests). All individuals are required to wear a mask within the arena unless actively eating or drinking.
The fans, coaches and players all vote Wiggins
It’s not just fans
Im okay with him making the All-Star, i think the “problem” is he is a starter wich is kinda akward. He may be the worst starter that i can remember.
Still i don’t value the All-star game at all as an acomplishment. Manu Ginobili has only 2, when he was, behind Kobe and Wade, and a couple of seasons of B. Roy, the 3 or 4 SG in the league.
I’m actually really happy for Wiggins. Everyone was calling him a bust, and a waste of such pure talent. Countless people repeatedly called him one of the worst defenders in the NBA, and even more questioned his true desire to play winning basketball.
Good for Wiggins, I’m happy he’s been able to prove alot of people wrong. His defense has taken a drastic step forward, and he’s still able to get his team 20-25 on any given night..
Congrats!!
On a different note, I do feel kinda bad for his previous teammate KAT and for Booker, but I’m sure they’ll both make the reserves for the West.
Speaking of improving their overall game l, and especially their defensive game, Zach LaVine also better be one of the first reserves announced for the East, he definitely DESERVES IT!!
Rank these talented young duos in terms of who you would rather build your team around, James Wiseman/Jonathan Kuminga, Kevin Porter Jr/Jalen Green, Isaac Okoro/Darius Garland, DeAndre Hunter/Onyeka Okongwu & Franz Wagner/Cole Anthony…
Today’s Chad Ford redraft
Cade 3
Kuminga 6
Suggs 7
Jalen Green 8
Ford is draft expert
Is it a typo or do you mean Mobley not Okoro because he is obviously the other half of your young duo…
I agree Mobley/Garland is the elite duo. And they look the best of the bunch.
Lol so basically you don’t have an answer but you still wanted to say something
If you don’t know just say you don’t know lol
Tough Q
Not saying they are the best but I’m interested in following Franz and Coles path, especially Franz . Worry that Orl won’t get all they can outta them tho
Lol I guess it was a tough question lol I haven’t gotten an answer yet. I’m also interested in seeing what Cole & Franz do, same as the other 4 duos. It seemed obvious to me that Cole was gonna be extremely good, even before he was in college. I was surprised he dropped so far in the draft. I felt pretty much the opposite way about Franz. He was UM’s 3td or 4th best player in alot of their games the past couple seasons. But he’s been extremely impressive as a rookie. I get Walt Williams/Bobby Jones vibes from him
I’ve only seen Franz twice but was extremely impressed both times
I worry about Orl’s backcourt moving forward but agree Cole has talent in the right location
Cole/Franz, reluctant final answer !
The new 2/1 guidelines for the Chase Center are clear. More stringent than up til now. However, you still need to be vaccinated for now. How is it that Kyrie gets to play in SF this weekend??? They only mention he’s not available for home games, but he is not available for Toronto or SF and yet the promos on ABC/ESPN show him playing this weekend? I don’t get it.
Rule not applying for other team players in SF … Canada rule is for every player
