Happy to have been able to stretch his legs last Thursday, for his first game in the G-League, James Wiseman confirmed Sunday evening, with a second interesting outing.
In 20 minutes, in the narrow victory of the Santa Cruz Warriors (110-107), he compiled 19 points at 8/17 to shoot, 14 rebounds and 2 blocks. He already had his double-double at the break, in just eleven short minutes.
“My knee is fine”, said inside. “It is above all my physical condition and the mental aspect that matters. I couldn’t play for ten or eleven months, I just watched, it was mental torture. “
Although he lost balls and showed waste in the first period, James Wiseman placed a few dunks and seemed more on his feet after the break.
“I wasn’t focused on scoring, but more on rebounding and defending,” he confides after the game. “Because that’s what will help my team when I come back. “
A team that was partly present to encourage him. Juan Toscano-Anderson, Damion Lee, Moses Moody or even Jonathan Kuminga and Gary Payton II attended the meeting. Not to mention Steve Kerr, owner Joe Lacob and GM Bob Myers. “Seeing my teammates support me was great”explains James Wiseman.
