James Wiseman has been cleared to participate in the full-team practices after a long injury.
Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman has been cleared to participate in full-team practices, this was announced by the team on Monday.
Wiseman played in just 39 games during a rookie year that was cut short in large part due to a right meniscal tear suffered on April 10.
It’s still unclear when Wiseman will be able to return to the floor given that he still hasn’t been cleared to scrimmage.
Warrior head coach Kerr is pleased with the improvement the 20 years old is making.
“I think it’s just been a gradual improvement over time,” Kerr said after Monday’s practice.
“He hasn’t had any setbacks. But this is something that we’re obviously taking very seriously and taking very slowly, but the good thing is he advanced from his individual work to do all of the team stuff other than the scrimmaging so it’s a good step, but it’s just part of the process.”
Wiseman, who said his rehab is “going great so far,” noted that he wouldn’t mind getting in some work in the G League with the Warriors affiliate in Santa Cruz as he continues the rehab process.
“I would like to go down there so that I can get sharp physically, mentally,” Wiseman said. “And I’m getting there. So whatever happens within that time, I’m down for whatever.”
