Watch: Steph Curry finds James Wiseman for alley-oop vs. Wizards in Japan

Steph Curry found James Wiseman for the lob dunk during the Warriors’ preseason opener against the Wizards in Japan.

The development and fit for James Wiseman will be something to monitor for the Golden State Warriors in the preseason.

After playing only 39 games in his rookie year and missing all of his sophomore season due to a knee injury, Wiseman is slated to be back on the court for the Warriors throughout the preseason campaign.

In the Warriors’ preseason opener against the Washington Wizards in Japan, it didn’t take long for Steph Curry to find the former No. 2 overall NBA draft pick. With 10:35 remaining in the second quarter, the reigning NBA Finals Most Valuable Player floated a lob to Wiseman for an emphatic two-handed dunk in front of the crowd at Saitama Super Arena.

In the first half against the Wizards, Wiseman tallied six points on 3-of-5 shooting from the field with a rebound in eight minutes.

Curry torched the Wizards for 47 points on 16-of-25 shooting from the field with six boards, six assists and a steal in 35 minutes. Curry poured on 13 of his points in the final quarter alone to help seal the Warriors’ victory over the Wizards, 126-112.

In signature fashion, Curry drilled seven triples on 19 attempts from beyond the arc.

While Curry tallied his second-highest scoring mark of the 2021-22 campaign, his long-time teammate returned to the court for the first time in 31 games. In an appearance off the bench, Green tallied six points on 2-of-4 shooting from the field with seven boards, six assists in 20 minutes. Green finished the contest with a game-best +24.

Following Curry’s dazzling performance with Green back on the court, the NBA Twitter community exploded with different reactions. Here’s a look at what fans and analysts were saying on Monday night.
