This is the second injury of the season for Warriors rookie James Wiseman, who got sidelined for nearly a month earlier this year due to a sprained wrist

Golden State Warriors rookie center James Wiseman has suffered a torn meniscus in his right knee and is likely to miss the remainder of the season, Stadium reported Sunday, April 11.

The 7-foot-1 Wiseman suffered the injury on Saturday in the first half of their 125-109 win over the Houston Rockets when he landed awkwardly after an attempted dunk. His knee hit the court and he walked off with the trainer and did not return to the game.

He was scheduled to undergo an MRI.

This is the second injury on the season for Wiseman, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. He sprained his left wrist on January 30 against the Detroit Pistons and did not return until Feb. 23.

In 39 games this season, he is averaging 11.5 points and 5.8 rebounds over about 21 minutes.

The Warriors sit at 10th place in the Western Conference. – Rappler.com
