James Wiseman's return to the Golden State Warriors has stalled, according to Anthony Slater and Marcus Thompson II of The Athletic.
Wiseman is suffering from swelling in his right knee. He was not practicing with the Warriors the past two days, as initially planned.
Moreover, the 20-year-old won't play in Santa Cruz (G League) tomorrow, via the report.
GSW only have 12 games left and there had been an expectation that Wiseman — particularly in the four remaining back-to-backs — would return in time to get some valuable developmental reps before the playoffs, The Athletic reports.
However, Wiseman's status is beyond uncertain. The 2.13-meter center was a rookie last season who averaged 11.5 points and 5.8 rebounds in 39 games before sustaining a torn meniscus in April.
Wiseman's come back was pushed back from training camp a couple of times, including a procedure to reduce swelling in November.
