At present, the Warriors have a record of 29 wins and 7 losses, ranking first in the league. Klay Thompson is coming back after more than two years off the field. And fans can easily forget that in addition to Klay Thompson, the Warriors also have a player on the injury list, and he is the 2020 chart star Wiseman.
The big sophomore underwent meniscus surgery last spring and has been in a slow recovery phase. Not long ago, Wiseman triggered the NBA's health and safety deal, which delayed his rehabilitation program, but he is now fully recovered and ready to take the next step in his recovery.
Just today, Warriors general manager Miles spoke about Wiseman while on a show.
"Regarding Wiseman's comeback, it has come to the final step, and maybe his comeback will start in the development league. That's the part Wiseman had to go through. Now I can't answer what kind of state he will be after his comeback. ”
"But in the current squad, it's hard for young people to break the existing rotation. Whether it's Wiseman, Cumminga, Moody, it's hard to break this rotation. It's not that Wiseman won't, I think he'll find a spot. But it won't be easy. Unless you're a player like Clay who is in the top three or four on the team, it's hard to get playing time when we're all healthy. ”
Previously, it was predicted that Wiseman would return earlier than Clay, but meniscal damage is difficult to determine and usually takes eight to nine months to fully recover. Grizzlies forward Jaylen Jackson Jr. tore the meniscus and didn't return until eight and a half months later.
The Warriors were patient with Wiseman. They know the young center is an important part of their future and there's no need to force him back, and the Warriors now have the best record in the NBA. Thompson will reportedly return on Jan. 10, and Wiseman won't be too late. The 29-7 Warriors are on the verge of a full body, which is bad news for the rest of the NBA.
