Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (knee) was able to play full-contact 5-on-5 on Sunday. This was the first time that Wiseman has done this since undergoing surgery. He missed the entire 2021-2022 season while recovering from his knee injury. The plan is for Wiseman to play in the summer league. This is the first step to getting the former No. 1 pick back into the fold. It'll be interesting to see how Wiseman fits into the Warriors rotation next season. Kevon Looney played above expectations last season and has earned himself a significant role. Perhaps the two big men split up the playing time at the center spot. If that happens, fantasy managers most likely won't be able to trust either player on a daily basis. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Warriors be extremely cautious with Wiseman. That being said, Looney appears to have the edge over him right now.

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman mentioned that he's 90 percent sure he'll play in the upcoming Summer League next month. He underwent knee surgery in April of 2021 in order to repair a torn meniscus. Wiseman didn't play at all this season, but appears almost ready for game action. It's great to see the young center finally ready to get back on the court. It's uncertain how much Wiseman will contribute to the team next season. It depends on whether or not the Warriors decide to bring back Kevon Looney. Hopefully, Wiseman can finally put his injuries behind him and get back to playing basketball.

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (knee) continues rehabbing after undergoing surgery over a year ago. However, Wiseman stated a few months back that he was targeting the Summer League for his return, with the Dubs hoping for the same. The 2020 No. 2 overall pick averaged 11.5 points and 5.8 rebounds in only 39 games as a rookie while missing the entire 2021 campaign due to a meniscus tear in his right knee. He's certainly not a lock to be available for the start of the season, although it appears he's moving in the right direction. Still, until Wiseman can prove he can stay healthy, fantasy managers may want to look at other options during drafts ahead of the 2022-23 season. The emergence of Kevon Looney during the postseason may also impact Wiseman's stock, assuming the former remains in Golden State.

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (knee) intends to play in the Summer League. The 2020 No. 2 overall pick continues to recover from a torn right meniscus that forced him to miss 43 games during his rookie year and the entire 2021-22 season. While he could experience a setback, it appears he plans to give it a go, although it's not known how much he'll actually play. Wiseman averaged 11.5 points and 5.8 rebounds during his inaugural season. His health should continue to be a concern for fantasy managers. However, his outlook will be partly contingent on how well he looks throughout the summer. Stay tuned.

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (knee) will not play this season. The No. 2 overall pick of the 2020 NBA Draft had surgery nearly a year ago to repair his right meniscus. However, after it was believed Wiseman would be back by January, he suffered numerous setbacks in rehab over the last few months, so the team will play it safe and keep him off the floor. Without him, Kevon Looney, who has averaged 7.6 rebounds and 6.2 points per game this season, should continue to handle things in the middle.

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (knee) has suffered a setback while rehabbing in the G-League. The 20-year-old center suffered a setback in his right knee on Saturday. That being said, it's uncertain if Wiseman will be able to return before the end of the regular season. The second-year center has no timetable after going down again. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect to get much from Wiseman this season.

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (knee) has been cleared to play in two G-League games this week. The second-year big man underwent right knee surgery in April. He has not played in a single game all season, but appears to be trending in the right direction. He'll begin G-League action this week and will hopefully return to the Warriors roster by the end of March. However, it's uncertain how significant of a role Wiseman is going to have on the Warriors roster. This seems like a wait-and-see approach for most fantasy managers.

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (knee) has joined the organization's G-League affiliate on Friday. This is one of the last steps Wiseman needs to take before rejoining the Warriors. It doesn't appear that Wiseman is far away from returning to Golden State. That being said, fantasy managers should consider scooping him up off the waiver wire, assuming Wiseman is still available in your league. However, there's no guarantee that Wiseman produces reliable value on the Warriors. This might be a wait-and-see type of approach for most managers in standard leagues.

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (knee) has been progressing and is slated to play in the G-League soon. Wiseman has not played this season for Golden State, but is expected to rejoin the team in the near future. Although, it's uncertain if Wiseman is going to have much of a role once he does return to the team. Head coach Steve Kerr mentioned that no roles off the bench are solidified right now. Possibly, Nemanja Bjelica loses minutes to Wiseman, but fantasy managers shouldn't bet on it. The Warriors are likely going to be careful with Wiseman once he does get back on the court. Fantasy managers should use a wait-and-see approach with Wiseman.

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (knee) has been working his way back all season long. He recently mentioned that he'll likely spend some time in the G-League before returning to the Warriors roster. The second-year center has been cleared for 5-on-5 scrimmages, so he appears to be making solid progress. The Warriors are going to be careful with him, but he should help the team in the second half. Wiseman could be a possible stash for fantasy managers who have an open IR spot. It's uncertain how significant of a role he'll have in Golden State, but he'll likely play decent minutes once he's cleared.

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (knee) has been cleared to scrimmage on Tuesday. He still has no timetable to return, but doing this 5-on-5 scrimmage is a step in the right direction. The hope is that Wiseman is able to return after the All-Star break. Fantasy managers who have an open IR spot might want to consider stashing Wiseman. Although, it's uncertain if Wiseman is going to have a significant role once he returns.

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (knee) continues to work his way back from a torn meniscus in his right knee that he suffered last April. Earlier this month, Wiseman was cleared for contact work and he has slowly been progressing through more workouts. This past week, he did 3-on-3 contact work and he also went through a pregame workout. The 20-year-old appears to be on the verge of returning to the team within the next month or so, but he will likely be on a strict minutes limit upon his return.

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (knee) began practicing with his teammates on Saturday. The sophomore hasn't played this season as he continues to recover from surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee. While Wiseman hasn't been cleared for contact, it's a step in the right direction. Nonetheless, it's unknown how much longer he will remain out, although he's worth a stash for those with room to spare.

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman has been placed in the league's health and safety protocols, sidetracking the progress he has made in his attempt to return to action. Wiseman has not yet suited up in his second professional season as he works his way back from a torn meniscus that he sustained in April. Fantasy managers can anticipate Kevon Looney, Nemanja Bjelica, and even Juan Toscano-Anderson carrying the vast majority of minutes at the center spot while Wiseman rehabs and Draymond Green (health and safety protocols) is unavailable. Golden State has not yet provided a concrete date on when it plans to acclimate Wiseman to game action, but this latest news may change that timeline at least slightly.

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (knee) is hopeful to begin 3-on-3 practices soon, according to head coach Steve Kerr. The young center has not played a game this season after undergoing right knee surgery. Although, Wiseman was cleared to full participation in practice last week. It sounds like Wiseman is getting closer to a return, but the organization has not given a timetable for his return. That being said, it sounds like fantasy managers can continue ignoring Wiseman for at least another few weeks.

Golden State Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson (Achilles) and center James Wiseman (knee) will not be traveling with the team during the Warriors' upcoming road trip. Warriors coach Steve Kerr broke the news to reporters on Sunday. The Warriors have four home games coming up this next week, then they go on the road for four games before returning home on Sunday, November 21. Thompson and Wiseman are both progressing from their respective injuries and we now know that their earliest return could be on November 21. Kerr said that both players will be on a program in San Francisco to "ramp things up" while the team is on their road trip. He also added that he is unsure if Wiseman will return directly to the Warriors when he's ready or if he will play in the G-League first.

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (knee) is expected to return at some point during the 2021-22 campaign. Although an exact date will be determined based on his progress in rehab, fantasy managers may certainly benefit by stashing him until he returns. The 2020 second-overall pick out of Memphis averaged 11.5 points and 5.8 rebounds last year before his season was derailed by a tear in his right meniscus, requiring surgery. His health will be a concern moving ahead. However, if Wiseman can remain on the court after he makes it back, he could conceivably surpass his statistical output from what fantasy managers received during his rookie campaign.
