The Golden State Warriors front office may have lost faith in James Wiseman, but Klay Thompson has not.
Thompson expressed support for his former teammate after Monday's 135-126 win over the Washington Wizards.
"I just know he's going to be a heck of a player in this league. ... I'm going to miss him," Thompson told reporters.
The Warriors traded Wiseman to the Detroit Pistons at the deadline as part of a four-team deal that brought Gary Payton II back to Golden State. The No. 2 pick in the 2020 draft, Wiseman played just 60 games during his Warriors tenure and struggled to fit in with the veteran-laden roster.
