After being cleared to return to the court for the first time since suffering a meniscus injury in April 2021, James Wiseman joined the Golden State Warriors G League affiliate in Santa Cruz for three consecutive games.
Wiseman notched double-figures in scoring while grabbing at least six rebounds in each contest. During his three-game stint with the Sea Dubs, the 20-year-old played around 20 minutes in each contest. Wiseman impressed against the G League Ignite, posting a double-double performance with 19 points and 14 boards.
Following his three-game run with Santa Cruz, the Warriors recalled Wiseman from the G League on Wednesday before hosting the Boston Celtics at Chase Center.

James Wiseman remains out tonight. He will practice with the Warriors the next few days. They don’t play again until Sunday. That is the earliest (and likeliest) date of his NBA return. https://t.co/1jFDkaqaB2
