While the Golden State Warriors had the day off, the Santa Cruz Warriors took the court on Sunday against the G League Ignite at San Francisco’s Chase Center with James Wiseman in the lineup.
After missing the end of his rookie season and all his sophomore season so far due to a meniscus injury, Wiseman made his long-awaited return to the court with the Santa Cruz Warriors on Thursday against the Stockton Kings.
On Sunday, Wiseman made his second appearance in the G League against the Ignite team.
The former No. 2 overall pick recorded another solid performance with a double-double effort in 20 minutes against the Ignite. Wiseman tallied 19 points on 8-of-17 shooting from the field with a career-high 14 boards. The 20-year-old added two blocks. Away from the post, Wiseman stepped out to knock down one 3-pointer on two attempts from beyond the arc.
Behind Wiseman, Quinndary Weatherspoon and Jerome Robinson, Santa Cruz secured a victory over Ignite, 110-107.
Here’s a look at Wiseman’s highlights from Sunday night:

James Wiseman's second block of the day came on what might be his final defensive possession of the game. He does a great job tracking the ball and helping across the paint for the rejection. pic.twitter.com/2pRDqtrr0A

After initially being cleared for two G League games, the Warriors have Wiseman listed as out on Monday against the Washington Wizards, per Anthony Slater of The Athletic.
Via @anthonyVslater on Twitter:
Warriors still have James Wiseman listed as out vs Wizards tomorrow. Just finished up his second G-League game. Gary Payton II and Andre Iguodala still out. Draymond Green and Otto Porter Jr. are back.
