Alongside Klay Thompson, James Wiseman has been going through the final stages of his rehab before making his long-awaited return to the Golden State Warriors’ rotation.
The 2020 No. 2 overall pick hasn’t suited up since suffering a meniscus injury against the Houston Rockets in April of last season.
While there’s no exact timetable for his return, Wiseman has recently been cleared to participate in Golden State’s full practices. Wiseman has also practiced with the G League Santa Cruz Warriors.
However, his rehab will have to go on hold. Wiseman is the latest member of the Warriors to enter the league’s health and safety protocols.

James Wiseman has entered the league's health and safety protocols. He is in the later stages of what has been a tedious meniscus rehab and this will only complicate that a bit more.
