At 8:30 a.m. Beijing time on March 21, the Warriors will sit at home to meet the Spurs. Before the game, the Warriors received a lot of news, including good news like Wiggins and Belitsa coming back, as well as bad news like Payton Jr.'s continued injury and Wiseman's repeated injuries.
After Curry suffered a sprained ligament in his left foot, Kerr said in an interview: "No one can fill the gap left by Curry, but we want Wiggins to be more aggressive in terms of tactical execution." After missing two consecutive games due to illness, Wiggins is finally coming back. He also came back with Bjelica, who missed the greens due to injury.
In addition to Wiggins and Bjelica, the Warriors have another injured man, and he is Payton II. Since the March 6 away game against the Lakers, Peyton Jr. has been sidelined with injury. Previously, it was reported that he had basically recovered from his knee injury and was expected to catch up with the game with the Spurs. But judging by the Warriors' injury report, he will miss the Warriors for the eighth consecutive game.
Payton Jr. was unable to play against the Spurs, but his injury recovery is in its final stages. Warriors fans aren't too worried about that. On the contrary, the injury of the 2020 class of the eye show Wiseman makes people more worried. In a pre-match interview, Kerr said Wiseman's right knee had swollen symptoms over the past few days, that the team's trainers had decided yesterday to stop training and that he would not be playing next Monday's development league game.
Wiseman is currently on the Daily Watch List. With only 12 games left in the regular season, Wiseman's hopes of returning this season are slimming, according to Warriors reporter Anthony Slater. Cole also said: "He is only 20 years old, his future is ahead, we have to be very, very cautious, we have to do what is best for him in the long run." ”
Wiseman will turn 21 on March 31. In the past two years, he has played only 39 NBA games. After breaking his right knee meniscus during a game against the Rockets on April 10 last year, he was away from the court for 11 months. Recently, Wiseman has just returned to play 3 games in the G League, and now the injury has recurred again. Watching fellow student Edwards and the three-goal play more and more excellent, Wiseman's ability to cash in on his talent was drawn with a big question mark!
