In the Golden State Warriors’ second game of the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, all eyes were on third-year center James Wiseman.
After missing the end of his rookie season and his entire sophomore NBA campaign due to a knee injury, the former No. 2 overall pick made his Summer League debut on Sunday against the San Antonio Spurs.
With the spotlight shining on Wiseman, Warriors fans didn’t have to wait long to see a highlight from the 21-year-old center. In the opening seconds of the contest, Jonathan Kuminga found Wiseman at the rim for a must-see lob dunk.

Wiseman’s early dunk set the tone for an impressive debut performance from the young prospect. During the Warriors’ first Summer League victory, Wiseman tallied 11 points on 5-of-7 shooting from the field with two boards in 20 minutes. The 7-footer knocked down his only 3-point attempt against the Spurs.
With a win finally on the books, the Warriors will meet the Boston Celtics in a Summer League rematch of the 2022 NBA Finals on Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. PT.
