Former Pistons rehab project is falling apart with no hope of recovery

After being selected second in the 2020 NBA Draft, James Wiseman flamed out with the Warriors before being traded to the Detroit Pistons for Saddiq Bey. And after only one game with the Pacers this season, he’s now out of the league.

James Wiseman was cut by Indiana so they could sign dunk champion Mac McClung, according to Shams Charania, a move that will cost the Pacers a million dollars.

It’s not a good sign when you see a team pay a guy to go away, but the Pacers have had a slew of guard and wing injuries and needed some warm bodies.
