Warriors' James Wiseman Cleared to Play in G League Games Amid Knee Injury Rehab

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman will play in two games for the G League Santa Cruz Warriors amid his rehab following knee surgery, the team announced Tuesday.

He will face the Stockton Kings on Thursday and then the G League Ignite on Sunday.

Wiseman suffered a torn meniscus in his right knee in April 2021, ending his rookie season after 39 games.

The 20-year-old underwent surgery that initially had a nine-month recovery timetable, but he had a setback in December, according to Anthony Slater of The Athletic. The injury required scope and cleanup in his right knee, but he returned to practice for individual work in January.
