On February 10, Beijing time, the Warriors lost 85-111 to the Jazz, and the nine-game winning streak was ended. So far this season, the Warriors have a record of 41 wins and 14 losses, ranking second in the West. Although the Warriors lost the game on the road, there was good news off the court.
Prior to the game against the Jazz, the Warriors conducted confrontation training. Wiseman participated in the team's 3-on-3 matchmaking training. It was also his first confrontational training in 10 months since his injury in April last year. Judging from the public training video, Wiseman is in good shape and has the cooperation of empty dunks.
For Wiseman's performance, Warriors coach Kerr gave a positive evaluation. Cole said: "There is no doubt that participating in 3v3 confrontation training is an important milestone on his road to recovery, it is his first time in 10 months to participate in confrontation training, and he has also performed very well in training. We are all happy with his recovery and it's clear that he's getting better and better. ”
At the same time, Cole also said that whether Wiseman will participate in 5-on-5 confrontation training is still to be determined.
Wiseman has missed 10 months of play since tearing up the meniscus last April. He underwent surgery at the time and was expected to make a comeback before the season, but his return has been delayed. In December, he underwent a second surgery to reduce the swelling in his knees. When will Wiseman return to the Warriors? There's no exact timeline yet, but judging by his performance on the training ground, the big man is moving in the right direction.
Without Wiseman, the Warriors have a 41-14 record, but they know the team needs Wiseman's stature, height and athleticism as they try to make a difference in the playoffs!
