Golden State Warriors rookie James Wiseman on Saturday suffered a sprained left wrist and will be re-evaluated in 7-10 days, the team announced on Monday.
Wiseman appeared to suffer the injury during the third quarter on an alley-oop finish at the rim. He looked to be bumped by Pistons center Isaiah Stewart on the attempt, which inadvertently sent him crashing onto the court on his left hand.
The second overall pick finished out the quarter, but did not play in the fourth period with the Warriors sporting a 26-point lead by that time of the 118-91 victory.
He finished with 11 points and nine rebounds in 17 minutes of work.

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said Wiseman will still be able to work out during his time off, while he can also continue to run and maintain his conditioning. Without Wiseman, the Warriors will turn more to Kevon Looney while Kerr also said more smaller lineups will be used.
Wiseman, in 20 games this season, is averaging 12.2 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.3 blocks. He ranks second in total rookie scoring (243) while he leads all first-year players with 122 rebounds.
